Irregular but Harmless
I received a small slip of paper in a legal sized envelope. The note was from my doctor regarding the core samples collected from me last week. I call them core samples because the last time I had holes placed in my body this deep and this wide I had had my wisdom teeth removed. The good news is this time I'm not vomiting blood, the bad news is this time the holes come in fashion colors. I have finally found a shade of green that isn't flattering on me. I haven't seen it myself as it is behind me, but from Sara's expression it is a shade I should avoid in the future.
At any rate, the contents of the note is why I'm writing this. It read, "Irregular but harmless". I like that. Irregular but harmless. My friends have been saying that about me for years but its always nice to have a professional opinion on the matter. Somewhere deep in the bowls of a government database exist a file, my name, ID number, address, height, weight, work information and the words, "Irregular but harmless". I'm almost inspired to get a tattoo.

That's great news man, though I'm sorry to hear about the green. You know, it ain't easy ... no it's too easy. Anyway, I think you should -totally- go for the tattoo. :)

I have rarely seen a man with a battleaxe that I have thought was harmless.

I'm going to second the comment about the tattoo. But, then, you know how I feel about tattoos.
Seriously though, I'm so glad that the results came back with good news.
Take care of yourself!

I like the description. BTW, you should really look into moving. I got many infections and years ago when living in a particular house in Asheboro. For a long time I thought I had acquired a more imminent disease.
But after we moved to Greensboro, all those things went away and I haven't had anything major wrong with me (illness wise at least) since then.
