LOL. Well, anybody comes near Tibbe with the intent on piercing him for jewelry placement better be prepared to get hurt!!! My momma bear side would emerge before they had time to blink. Sometimes a sick joke it the funniest, as depraved as that makes me sound.
One of the docs I worked for tells a story a psychiatrist friend of him told him about a group of shrinks at a convention and this one telling a particularly awful story about a patient and his long series of one horrible event after the other and he was getting emotional himself. Somebody somewhere in the group seemed to snigger, tried to stifle it. Somebody else sniggered a bit, too. Before long, more than a few little hard-suppressed giggles and then somebody couldn't help themselves and just exploded in laughter. Before long he said the whole group was beating-the-table laughing so hard they were all crying. He said his friend said the group all agreed that sick-humor is quite often cleansing when a lot of tension is building up, particularly with medical types or people who see/feel a lot of pain or experience things intensely. IDK if that applies here or we are all just looney!
