It all started that one day in a men’s bathroom at JFK International Airport.

Standing there taking a royal wicked piss and minding my own business dreaming of cheeseburgers when off to the side of me stood a large black man.

A man large of stature and yes, endowment.

It was not his size that amused me nor the thoughts that he was glancing in reciprocity, no, it was the shocked look on his face when in a large exclamation of wonder said, “Oh. My. Gawd!!!”

And that’s how I got the nickname, Big Bird.
