Way to gay, Tom.

On a recent trip to China, Tom Arnold was dismayed, to say the least, upon learning the true meaning of a tattoo he had done thirty years ago.

You remember Tom, the sometime funnyman who gained notoriety suckling the teat of Rosanne Barr to semi-fame, during their short and tumultuous marriage.
Tom asked to have the words “love of mankind” tattooed on his leg after seeing the massacre at Tiananmen Square back in 1989.

He was in China on his honeymoon and scheduled a television appearance during the trip, and in a briefing prior to setting down for the interview found out that his “love of mankind” tattoo actually translated to “man love,” and a common proclamation of one’s homosexuality, in Chinese.

Tom explains, “I have a tattoo that I thought said Love of Mankind, which I got after the Tiananmen Square thing.”
“They said don’t mention that on Chinese TV. They also told me that it means man love” Tom should have thought a little more before getting a tattoo done.

A restaurant in Lakewood Ohio is offering a lifetime 25% discount to anyone who tattoos a grilled cheese sandwich anywhere on their body. The owner of “The Melt Bar and Grilled,” Matt Fish, said the offer is open-ended and will allow anyone who bares the restaurants signature dish the discount for as long as they have the tattoo.

Coincidentally, the owners of “Voodoo Monkey Tattoo,” of nearby Cleveland, are offering a similar promotion, $25 dollars off the price of a grilled cheese tattoo. The owners are not related.
