Hey gang,
Yes, that early (and, thankfully, short-lived) "nose" of John Yeager's was some schnozz (even more "outstanding" than the late, great National League catcher, Ernie "The Schnozz" Lombardi's was said to be).
I recall a past episode of "The Sopranos," in which the irrepressible Paulie Walnuts is having a discussion with his "business" associate, the saturnine Silvio Dante, while waiting for their boss, Tony Soprano, to pick them-up in his Mercedes.
Anyway, Paulie is going on about how absolutely crystal-clear, the picture on a HDTV set was in the local Sears Department Store, that he had recently shopped in. Apparently, the classic film, "On The Waterfront" was playing on that HDTV set. Paulie was mightily impressed by the clarity of the picture, telling Silvio, "That picture was so 'freaking' clear, that Karl Malden's nasal hairs looked like over-sized coaxial cables!"
Can you imagine if Mr. Walnuts got a gander at John Yeager's rather "prominent proboscis" on one of those HDTV sets? "Jesus H. Christ, Silvio! The nasal hairs in this ugly guy's banana nose, looked giant California Redwood Trees, sticking out of
that beak!"
