Well, if THIS doesn't remind me of that old joke about the two prospectors out there one day huntin' for gold and one of 'em gettin' bite by a rattlesnake in the proximity of where this guy got bite(and I AIN'T talkin' about "Australia" here, btw), then I don't know WHAT WOULD!!! (...btw, for the uninitiated here, the punchline to that old joke is..."The doctor says you're gonna die!") 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

The worst bite I ever got was human bit. I had to got to the doctor and get the strongest antibiotics made. A man bit my ear.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Its not that fantastic of a tale, even though the story is almost unbelievable. If it weren't for the scare tissue on my ear I wouldn't want to believe it myself.
I was working (construction) when a drugged out fellow by the name of Richard Hurts jumped at me and bit me on the ear. Very much like a zombie movie scene.

I told ya not easy to believe but there ya have it.
Thats what the incident report said Richard Hurts. No wonder why the fella was drugged up. The torcher of growing up with that name may have been akin to the plot of song by the late great Mr. Cash.

Yeah, I'LL say! Ya know I'm now wonderin' if Richard Hurts might've ever traveled in same circles with another guy I once knew who was always ready for any occasion??? (...that other guy's name you ask?!...why, it was "Justin Case"!!!)

Now things are getting interesting.
When I was a teen I would look up the funniest names in the phone book to crank call.
Come to think of it....karma may have gotten me. I was biten on the ear by a fella with a funny name.
