WOAH! That looks ilke it would hurt!

[–]panda_handler -1 points0 points ago

Just like Grandpa used to say...

Grandpa drank a lot...

[–]patten 0 points1 point ago

No. You make beef stew.

[–]TheSkiFreeYeti 0 points1 point ago

No. Dolphinade.

[–]BABY_FETISH 26 points27 points ago

When life gives you lemons, throw them back and say you wanted a dolphin tattoo.

[–]YippieKiAy 23 points24 points ago

That guy and this guy either need to be best friends, or mortal enemies.

[–]SpeclalK 7 points8 points ago

A friend of mine also got a tattoo where her arm was.

[–]fuji311 7 points8 points ago

I think they should duel.

[–]Lord_NiteShade 9 points10 points ago

They charge each other, shoulder first, like a stump joust.

[–]Barclayor 1 point2 points ago

that is one muscular stump

[–]mistidoi 74 points75 points ago

I give this my full en-dorsal.

[–]1985jack000 46 points47 points ago

I bet you typed that on-porpoise.

[–]Billy_Shatner 40 points41 points ago

Fin.

[–]ClosetCynic 1 point2 points ago

It swims in the O-shin.

[–]archimedes7 18 points19 points ago

If I ever lost an arm, I would get an arm tattoo going down my side.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Icomefromb 6 points7 points ago

Look, I have to ask, why put the space between punctuation and the last word of the sentence? Also, I think that he's saying if he LOST his arm. Not him just cutting off his arm to get the tattoo like you worded it.

[–]Captainpatch 2 points3 points ago

Punctuation aside, I'm fairly certain he was making a joke.

[–]Icomefromb 0 points1 point ago

If he was, it was very hard to pick up on.

[–]reneel88 7 points8 points ago

That...is not a lemon

[–]MikeyToo 19 points20 points ago

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

  • Cave Johnson

[–]AirsoftGlock17 5 points6 points ago

To be honest with you, I'm in the process of designing and creating combustible lemons.

I will sell them if Reddit wishes.

HINT: Metal+Metal+Ice+Gasoline+Lemon

[–]MikeyToo 3 points4 points ago

They should look like this.

[–]AirsoftGlock17 2 points3 points ago

Planned on it.

[–]turnleftdale 15 points16 points ago

Why is this wtf?

Also repost.

[–]Billy_Shatner 3 points4 points ago

Is this one of those "flipper children?"

[–]Amethyst485 0 points1 point ago

Are you thinking of a Thalidomide baby? Mothers on Thalidomide gave birth to babies w flipper-like limbs. Doesn't look like one but I don't know.

[–]Qwertysapiens 4 points5 points ago

No, there's clearly a scar. The bulge that forms the dolphin's beak is the acromion process of the scapula, where the distal end of the clavicle articulates. Source: I'm a physical anthropologist.

[–]Calypsee 2 points3 points ago

I thought so! Turns out I have indeed learned something in my Osteology class!

[–]Billy_Shatner 3 points4 points ago

It was a sorry attempt at punny humor.

[–]Amethyst485 0 points1 point ago

Haha. Don't know how I was that slow.

[–]Shouldknowbetter 2 points3 points ago

The only time I actually like a tattoo!

[–]GreyReanimator 2 points3 points ago

[–]fuji311 1 point2 points ago

You know what's good for that...

[–]InvalidWhistle 2 points3 points ago

[–]Tjdamage 2 points3 points ago

When life gives you a post, post if again 2 days later.

[–]notsurewhatiam 1 point2 points ago

Bottle-nubbed dolphin

[–]NothingButLoveForAll 0 points1 point ago

A friend of mine lost part of his leg, just above the knee. He used to draw a face on it, and it was named Bill. He got a tattoo of it eventually.

[–]scumbag-reddit 1 point2 points ago

[–]downbeataura 0 points1 point ago

I can't stop thinking that that dolphin bears a striking resemblance to Bill Cosby...

[–]Japanistan 0 points1 point ago

He tatooed his lemon?

[–]Lunchbox_Radio 0 points1 point ago

That dolphin looks like Bill Cosby.

[–]Jofatt 1 point2 points ago

[–]bournishire 0 points1 point ago

Wonder if the parts that are still red were sensitive to the needle and couldn't be filled in. Any Tattoo artists know about that sort of thing?

This reminds me of a pic I've seen of someone who lost a hand, and at the end of their arm they had a giant fingernail tattoo'd so it's like they had a giant finger.

[–]sideous 0 points1 point ago

Maybe I need to go to bed, but I just imagined a man saying "When life gives you lemons, put a dolphin on your arm." in a very confident 'moving forward' kind of way. Giggled like an idiot for a good 30 seconds.

[–]robbiedo 1 point2 points ago

I can't imagine someone would do that on porpoise.

[–]StuPac85 0 points1 point ago

Personally I would have gone for lady gaga tat instead...

[–]manuel_robot_cleaner 0 points1 point ago

GENIUS

[–]lettheflowgo 0 points1 point ago

Little known that there is a story behind this.

A man was swimming off the coast of Florida when a bull shark was looking for lunch and viciously grabbed the arm of this man with an iron grip. Then out of a nowhere a baby dolphin comes to the rescue, kills the shark and pulls the man to shore. It was only out of respect for the man to tattoo his savior to his arm. The End.

[–]ilurveturtles 0 points1 point ago

Dude just trust me like you trust the internet.
