Years ago I went to a strip club and got a private dance with a girl. I noticed a quite visible scar on her abdomen. Against better judgement I asked her, "Is that an appendectomy scar?" Women that age are very sensitive about their bodies, you see, especially when their bodies are a source of income.
But her response surprised me: "No, that's my C-section scar. THIS is my appendectomy scar." I told her that her scars made her more beautiful because each one is a story; having them makes her a survivor and that's pretty hot. I think she appreciated that.
