I do? Wow, the things you never knew about yourself... I've never been on a date before and I have exes. And for the record that song is before my time, much less yours. And I think it's depressing.

I sometimes notice this spot just beneath my collarbone. Probably for different reasons.
After emergency dialysis they had to set me up with a temporary port to continue doing dialysis until i could be set up with something more permanent. So they surfaced numbed an area just below my collarbone and 'installed' it there. When i closed my eyes i kept having this visualization of what the sensation of them putting this thing in felt like. It went like this: The doctor puts his foot on my chest, grabs a handful of flesh beneath my collarbone then pulls and pull and pulls as hard as he can, using his foot on my chest to hold my down. Finally once he stretched my skin to about the height of his head there was an odd pressure along the length of the skin. This went on for a good 5 minutes at least.
When all was done i had this patch that reminded me of the ones they use for heart monitors with 2 plugs, somewhat similar to female RCA connectors, dangling from the patch, both hanging down about an inch. Over the next two months, until i was able to have it removed, i could feel the hook they use to help hold it in place. It went under my collarbone and wrapped around and hooked onto the inside. At times i could feel the hook rubbing against the bone, and kind of almost hear it. Always sent shivers up my spine.
Anyways, the part that reminds me was i, naturally, have a small scar on that spot. So every so often i accidentally touch it, as it's slightly raised. This causes me to keep picking at it as it feels like a scab haha. Fun times.
Oh, and removing it? Apparently there is a balloon blown up inside to hold it in as well. The nurse (yes, nurse, not doctor) twists it to unhook it, then yanks really hard and pops it out instantly. Fast, but painful. It was that or have the doctor come in and fuss around with it for 10-15 minutes, which was apparently still painful, just less pain, but for longer.

You go to one of those "Snake Handling" churches?!
As if it wasn't bad enough to have to get past your Grandma and your Uncle Fred...

Ahem... Of course I do! We all do here in Tennessee. Shoot, if you can't handle a snake in church you don't have any real faith.
And if you can't play a banjo, or at LEAST thump a stand-up bass guitar, you ain't a real man.
And... let's see, what else is there...
Oh yeah, and you have to be able to drink at least a quart of moonshine. Shoot, even our ladies can drink a quart of moonshine with no problem. Although our ladies are all pious women who would never touch the stuff, and they look down on us menfolk for drinking it.
