When short and greying and shabbily dressed, dignity, even feigned, comes in handy.
Oh but wait; I am mostly dignified until I get silly or angry. A mercurial nature in our modern world makes one attempt an appearance of dignity. Not that I require it. It just makes me polite and believable. Others seem to want it. I know I can sing and dance. So I'm mostly set. Dignity as Coping Tool for humouorless idiots.
