Of course has we get older that is. Why do older people seem to wear clothing you never seem to see for sale? Or carry those retractable walking sticks that couldnt offer any support?

I'm going to go ahead and guess on this one.

1- The Nose and Ear Hair Issue- I think they, like wisdom teeth and the appendix, are just a couple more delightful outdated features that were really useful in caveman times. It looks like it is really sandy and dusty in Africa, where the first hominids reportedly evolved, so they probably needed a little extra protection in their ears and noses to keep all that grime out. This was before Q-Tips, after all.

2-Old People and Their Clothes- I think that old people fall behind with fashion just like they fall behind with technology. At a certain age, which seems to vary from person to person (as I've seen some uber-trendy women in their 50's as well as 23-year-olds who dress like they're ready for a bingo tournament), people get this idea that they don't need to dress to impress anymore, and resort to wearing what's "comfortable." Unfortunately for the rest of us, these people have no idea that there actually are comfortable jeans and shoes that exist without being ugly, and you are forced to see a lot of polyester blends, bright white Reeboks, and black socks with Birkenstocks. I also think that it's because old people are usually either very poor and have to shop at thrift stores, or very rich and shop at strange foofy boutiques run by old women who think earrings made out of pictures of your grandchildren is the height of fashion. Either way, they always look weird.

3-Old people and their Walking Sticks-
I think they are trying to come to terms with the reality that they fall over a lot, but are still deluded enough to think they don't need THAT much help, hence the walking stick that couldn't even support a 6-year-old if leaned on wrong. Also, they might receive them as gifts from relatives who are so paranoid about them breaking a hip and having to come live with them.

those who have long nose and ear hair are just too nasty to cut them off.if you dont see the clothes for sale either you cant afford it or you mom never made you any.and most retractable walking sticks are used by blind people and are not meant to hold them up.

I guess it is a sense of humor God has, but as my husband says about the ear hair "Why as you get older does hair grow where you don't want it to and not where you want it to" (Meaning his head. His hair is thinning) LOL

sure, my pals play with my hair continuously. My suitable buddy is amazingly motherly and she or he'll sit down and in simple terms brush or run her fingers via my hair continuously. It feels good, so i do not ideas, haha. My hair is truly mushy, so a large number of my pals will in simple terms sit down there and play with it. i'm getting a large number of compliments on my hair. that is what I evaluate my suitable characteristic, regardless of if something isn't all that tremendous, so i love it.

Hair is supposed to keep us warm, you don't want to freeze do you? and if you wanted to know why we have nose hair, we have it to stop most of the dust and stuff from going into our lungs. Thats why we have mucus. As for ear hair, I don't know. I suppose god wants to laugh at us a bit :P

the hairs in your ears and nose prevent to much dust and other microbes from entering in the sensitive parts of your body
