I remember Dan every time I do that. One day we had soemthing big to do, and Dan came in dressed in business formal, as he always did, with toilet paper clotting his wounds. I thought they only did that in the movies and on the Simpsons. I guess that Dan could tell what we were looking at, and he just blurted out "And of all things on the day that we have this big presentation, I have to go and try to commit suicide with my electric razor."
He said it so matter of factly, with his usual energy (very high) and animation
(greatly animated) and at 100 mph, that perhaps he didn't realize
how funny that seemed.
We laughed and laughed. And Dan wasn't trying to be funny.
I tell my wife that story when she asks what I've done to my face, if I need new razors, or if I didn't have any shaving cream. I don't think she quite appreciates it like I do. I cherish it, along with many other "Dan's".
