The chart says that you don\u2019t like your ears. Are they too large, too small, lopsided, what can I do for you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my earlobes. I\u2019ve always hated them. They\u2019re just too big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me take a look. They don\u2019t look that bad. I\u2019ve certainly seen bigger. Now that LBJ he had a pair of real droopers \u2013 a lot of acreage there. Understandable if he wanted to trim them down a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/LBL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2126\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/LBL.jpg\" alt=\"LBL\" width=\"272\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a>\u201cNow wait just a minute. Johnson had a huge head. I think that the ratio of my lobes to my face is similar. I\u2019m telling you my lobes are too big. When I try to sleep on my side, they get folded up and clog up my ears, and then I have to reach in with my finger and straighten them out. See what I mean?\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, okay, I get it. I\u2019m not here to judge. Whatever makes you comfortable. What other type of work have you had done?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell the usual &#8211; eyes, nose, chin, brow, breasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes you think that I\u2019ve had other work done? What difference does it make anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my experience, the lobes are not the first thing that people want to change. Michael Jackson was a wake-up call for all of us. You can understand &#8211; I have to look out for people who are addicted to plastic surgery, but frankly your face looks age appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never had anything done, but last year I turned 65 and I thought what the hell. I want to surprise my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith earlobes? But I\u2019m not here to judge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see how my lobe hangs down here. I just want the natural curve of my ear to continue smoothly toward my ear, cut off this droopy downturn. I think that a smooth arc is a much more pleasing look.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, flip though this book. I\u2019ve profiled some general ear lobe styles. See if any appeal to you, then I can photo-shop them onto your ears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait a minute, this ear lobe looks familiar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/paltrow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/paltrow.jpg\" alt=\"paltrow\" width=\"128\" height=\"195\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, that\u2019s the Gwyneth Paltrow. A sleek and slender earlobe that connects directly to the ear. That connection is actually hard to do. More work. I have to add a surcharge for the Paltrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis one looks like a man\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/better-freddie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2128\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/better-freddie.jpg\" alt=\"better freddie\" width=\"120\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a>\u201cThat\u2019s Freddie Mercury from Queen. But I just love Queen I always play \u201cWe are the Champions\u201d in the OR. Gives the whole room a little extra pep, you know. Not too crazy about his buck teeth, but his lobes are pretty decent \u2013 except for that sharp angle down towards his jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t need anything fancy, just a basic earlobe, no extra surcharge. How about this one?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pitt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fanagrams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pitt.jpg\" alt=\"pitt\" width=\"112\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a>\u201cOh, you have excellent taste. I lot of women like that one. That\u2019s the Brad Pitt. Perfectly curvaceous in the best earlobe sense of the word. Just the right amount of flesh, can easily accommodate multiple piercings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow much would this cost me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout seven fifty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that for one ear or two?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s per ear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifteen hundred for both? How about a volume discount for the pair?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, I can knock maybe 100 bucks off \u2013 Yours is an easy case. I won\u2019t have to work around any piercings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know, that\u2019s still more than I anticipated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right, I\u2019ll throw in some Botox for your face at no extra charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t give you an answer right now. I have to think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait there\u2019s more. I can Botox your pits \u2013 with the lobes that would be two thousand. Keeps you from sweating \u2013 great if you\u2019re wearing pastel to a gala event. Done lots of mothers-of-the bride before weddings. Good for the whole summer season.\u00a0 Ask anyone, this is a great deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks for the offer, but I\u2019m not interested in Botox, just my lobes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold on now, I don\u2019t want you to give up on your dream. Let\u2019s think creatively. You\u2019re tennis pro, right? Well, I\u2019m in the market for a better backhand. How about a swap, say both lobes for ten lessons. I have an opening next Wednesday at 4 PM. Can I pencil you in?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy lobes, Brad Pitt style, next Wednesday?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
