He might nurse a grudge

So reprehensible. Anyone can see that looks like John Lennon.

I once considered getting a tattoo of a zipper on my right leg, to connect two scars.

Why is his hospital gown on backwards?

Might as well just go ahead and pull the plug, Bleeb!

Something unethical about letting cute nurses have their way with your body!

Unkind.

Nurses on break?

A little lower and it could be one of the abdo-men.

Waking up after surgery with a Bruce Springsteen caricature drawn on my chest… that would be the chef’s kiss.

I hope Bruce isn’t seeing this, he probably wouldn’t take a likeness.

Rookie mistake. Only connect the dots on their backs. Much less likely they will notice.

I don’t think this is covered by my medical plan.

He might want it tattooed
