Funny Sleeve Stories ... Let's hear yours

  • Popular Post

I'm interested if anyone has and funny sleeve stories. I have one aready and am willing to share.

I've been self conscious about taking my shirt off in public for a long time. Since I started the process for surgery I decided that NOW was the time to change all that. I started a gym membership and began working out. For the longest I would'nt change at the gym. Since surgery, I decided to go for it and change there to make my life a bit easier.

I'm an old Marine SF Recon grunt. I served in the 1st Gulf war. I've got a few scars on my chest and back from past advetures and now I have these cuts from surgery.

On the 1st day I changed at the gym there were about 3 young men in their 20's getting changed and ready for a basketball game. I took my shirt off and started to get ready. They got really quiet and were looking at my surgery scars. I was getting a bit self conscious when one of them spoke up and said, "DUDE!! What the heck happened to you?" I'm always up for pulling a good joke on someone. So. with my best Marine War Face said, "Knife Fight." and walked away.

I don't think any of those young men got anywhere close to me during my workout.

It took everything I had not to laugh.

That's mine... what's yours?

That's hilarious! So far I haven't had any funny experiences but I know at some point it will happen. Great story. :)

Hahaha that shuttem up lol love it!

I will have to use that if I ever get up the nerve to wear a bikini and expose my stomach. i don't see it happening, but it's good to have the retort ready just in case.

Thanks for your service! I can't think of a funny story as yet. I'm sure it will come.
