    A beloved member of our friend group had a nut removed junior year of highschool. He was understandably upset but took it like a fucking champ. First day back had some shirt about a squirrel losing his nuts, took some jokes with a smile that first day and then nobody ever brought it back up. A true legend. GGs staying on top Mr.F
