Glad to see I'm not the only one that uses humor like this. Once my tongue healed from my surgery I noticed that it had started growing hair on the graft. Instead of freaking out or trying to hide it I started telling everyone "now whenever I want to feel the wind in my hair all I have to do is whistle."
