Said the man wearing a curtain on his head…

“What birthmark?”

Yes, L for Luxe, Likeable, or Lovely. And I could never live up to the expectations.

Hey! Aren’t you Harry Potter?!?!?!

Your inferiority complex is not good enough … try harder.

Bummer of a birthmark, Hal.

He thought that meant he was left-handed.

Come on Harry, snap out of it, it´s only been 13 years, you´ll get a good part soon!

…mmmmmnnnyeeeeh!

Could be!

Well, Bleeb, the new week is off to a slow start.

…Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming…

Now that’ll be stuck in my head all day.

“L” for “Loser”?

Almost seems to be a given – the less hair on top the more hair on the chin.

Wow he took a serious “L” there

Maybe it shows his time of birth, 3 o’clock?

But life is all about learning. :)

That’s one L of a birthmark.

And your mother dresses you funny, too! Hiya Bleeb!!!!!!!!! :)

If you automatically assume the L stands for loser you’ve already lost.

I think I have the same birthmark visible to everyone but me

Also looks like 3:00.

L could stand for Loser, but could also stand for Lordly, Lazy, Lothario or Lardbutt.

It’s a tattoo, the first letter of my name, so I don’t forget it.
