On Keeping His Sense Of Humor

Posted on July 29th, 2010 in My Favorite Polack

My dad has a huge scar on his thigh from his multiple operations and when his final surgery takes place, he’s going to get a brand new one close to the original. For now, he’s just got the one huge gash that sort of looks like it’s smiling back up at him. LIFE IS CRUEL.

He’s been joking with us that everyone at the beach next year is gonna be SO jealous when he shows up in his thong and shows off his battle wounds and we’re all YOU KNOW IT, DAD.

So naturally, when he spotted this comic in the Sunday paper a few weeks ago, he couldn’t resist cutting it out, adding his own artwork, scanning it and e-mailing to all of us.

That’s about right, dad. You’re gonna look just as fierce.

  1. I think Uncle Paul needed to make those calves quite a bit larger to accurately represent his lower half.

  2. That is HYSTERICAL.

  3. It’s amazing how you dad has kept his sense of humor through all this. Not to be cliche, but laughter is the best medicine (just ask Reader’s Digest).

  4. Deanna? If you think his calves were big before THIS you should see how big his good leg and calf have gotten now that he hops on that one!!! Whew! I should hitch a plow to him and get the fall veggies going!
