Alright ladies and gents, I've got a story for you, you want to hear it... here it goes.
One of my favorite things to do is to smoke a good cigar on a summer's eve with my son, who is 20. I was blessed to have his company tonight because his girlfriend was having ladies night. He's very quiet and reserved, but a good cigar loosens his tongue, and we spend the 35 minutes together, talking just as men, not dad/son.
We're watching lightning bugs, our 3 cats playing on the porch, and the stories start flying. Well my son proceeds to tell one that tops 'em all. He wrestled from 7th-12th grade. His Freshman year we move to Lynchburg for them to go to LCA and because my health hit a major downturn, so we were close to my parents.
Anyway, there was a well known Sr wrestler, who also played football. My son tells me one day someone questioned whether this 6'5" 285 lb Sr wrestler was comfortable with his sexuality. He's just getting out of the shower and he says yeah I'm comfortable, drops his towel, and says who wants to go. He and another guy are wrestling naked in the locker room.
At this point I've nearly fallen out of my chair from laughing so hard! He says the coach walks in, looks bewildered, turns around, and walks out without a word.
I have no idea if he proved his point, but I will say it's one of the funniest and weirdest things I've ever heard. Testosterone can be a weird, weird hormone for a teenage boy.
