I had earrings once, in a university course, the instructor was very anti earring for guys, so a couple of the girls brought clip on ear rings for all the guys. I slipped away at lunch (we were supposed to wear them after lunch) and went to the dime store and bought a pair of cheap pierced ear rings and a tube of super glue. I cut the pins off the ear rings and glued them to my ear, and then I glued the backs to the inside of my ears. When the ear rings were being passed out, I told the girls that I did not need any as I had my ears pierced over lunch. One of the girls ran over and grabbed my ear and turned it over and saw the back and declared that I really had done it. It turned out that getting my ears pierced would have been less painful than pulling them off when they were glued on.
