A man named 'what?'

The BFF and I headed to Cedar Point yesterday for an amazing 13 hours of fun-filled roller coaster riding. One of the big benefits of going to Cedar Point every year (aside from the obvious thrills) is the people watching. When I retire I'm going to be one of those old people at the mall who sit and stare at the crazy shoppers. I love people watching. And Cedar Point seems to attract some of the most interesting people if the Midwest on lovely summer Saturdays.

While in line for the first ride of the day we noticed an early 20-something with two very interesting tattoos on his triceps: a question mark on the left and an exclamation point on the right. We pointed it out to one another, exchanged looks indicating our confusion, and hopped on the ride as if that'd be the last time we'd think about Mr. Punctuation.

Alas, after our first thrilling coaster and heading to the next we see him walking in front of us. My guess that he was heading to the same ride we were next was right on target. This was the longest wait of the day so we had plenty of time to discuss his ink and speculate as to why he would have such interesting tattoos.

1. He loved Schoolhouse Rock as a kid

2. The confusion of others (?) excites him (!)

3. He had to complete the set - otherwise the comma on his left butt cheek wouldn't make sense

After a while we got bored and moved on to judging others, but it was fun while it lasted. But tell me, if you were the one with the tricep punctuation tattoos, what would be your reason?

Cheers!
