I don't have a beard anymore, haven't had one for many years and when I did it was brown. I think you have me mixed up with someone else.

Gray beard is a term of respect for one's experience in my line of work.

I stopped getting addressed as "bro" or "man" at drive-thrus lately. Now more often than not, it's "sir."

I ain't no "sir" yet.
