"My grandfather lost his left testicle in the Battle of the Bulge." It's a good joke and a true story. I wrote an article about it. I learned a lot about WW2 researching information for this article, I knew nothing of the "Nuts" campaign when I wrote the joke. Another example of how life is funny, you just have to find the funny. https://medium.com/@joerink1485/my-grandfather-lost-his-left-testicle-in-the-battle-of-the-bulge-jocephus-49dc5704c241

I haven’t been as great a welcoming committee as I could be, but want to welcome some new members to the community! @Erol Chandler @Teddy Bess @Stewart Quinn @Reese Lanay @Rich Potter All of you have joined in the last 3 weeks or so. Thanks for joining! I am a little slow to start some conversations, so thanks for bearing with me. (I am also traveling/touring over the next 2 weeks, so bear with that as well!) Feel free to start a topic, ask questions, or go through some of the old content and see if anything grabs you. Also, if there’s something specific that you are looking for in terms of guidance, ask a question, and I will answer it if I can! Best! Adam

Hello Comedy Mechanics, I’m a 1980 model from North Carolina, built with Bavarian roots and a mix of Indiana and Kentucky soil in my veins. I’m a bit banged up, wrestling with hopelessness and despair, but I keep the darkness at bay with cigars, comedy and a good story or two. I’m more of a listener than a talker, though I’ll speak my mind when pushed. Excited to share some experiences and get to know you all!
