If your are lucky, for the longest time you "look too young"   enjoy it
because  sooner than you want its, "Gee, he looks a little old, I hope he
hasn't started to loose his hearing"

But how would you feel if you were refused admittance because of your race.
I have heard of that. : (   Also in an older and richer part of the city the
tuner was admonished for not ringing the tradesman door bell. And this was
all before a female tuner showed up. Tales of the city----alive if only in
memory.
