Sounds like he got a bum wrap?

All I can say is, it pays to get a professional to do a proper shave in that area.

Sounds like a real pain in the bud. Preparation-H anyone? A real tragedy, I believe Shakespear made a play about it. "Mid-summer nights scream." Lol

Thanks, Caren. Yes, some things are just funny, even if they are tragic.

I read that it is a very unpleasant affliction. Eww - but humorous Milt. :)

I think that's what epitaphs are supposed to be, but sometimes they can be jarring...and even disgusting. I suppose on should never laugh at death, but some things about it are just funny, period.
