Chigger Bite Pics

So I mentioned in my last comic that I sent pics of my chigger bites to various people.
Here's a cute example pic:

Well, to tell the truth, after the doctor told me those were chigger bites and not folliculitis, I decided to give in to the urge to scratch them. Also, I noticed that chigger bites, unlike mosquito bites, became more and more itchy with time. Although I did have anti itch cream, yep I'm a lazy squid and I ended up scratching more than rubbing. However, very soon I began to notice something interesting. Those chigger bites.... swelled enormously when scratched! Again different from mosquito bites! So I decided to share this newly obtained knowledge to the uneducated. I noticed that, right in my leg pit, there were several bites that some I had scratched and some I had left unscathed. The perfect contrast. So I rested that leg on the other, whipped out my smartphone



and took a pretty nice pic, which I thought was very explanatory.


So the left is scratched, and the right is unscratched. Look at the size difference! I immediately send it via text to my friend G.
She replies: "What is this is this a butt."
I am flabbergasted. Okay, there is a crease, but you can totally see the two limbs part.
And why would I send her a picture of my naked butt? I don't want to go there.
Me: "It's my leg"
G: "Butt"
G: "What part says leg?"
G: "The upper is connected"
I roll my eyes and send her another pic to show I am not doing anything inappropriate to her.


G: "What is this a plump arm and shoulder?"
Me: "It's my leg!!!!!"

Later I meet G with her friends K and S.
G brings up this story.
G: (Waving her smartphone, in which she uploaded our communication screen) "Look! Juwon sends me this pic which totally looks like her butt!"
I take a look at her screen


which has a butt on it.
Me: "LOL okay the thumbnail looks like a butt because it cropped out the lower part."
Everyone is laughing.
G: "THIS IS THE FIRST THING I SEE IN THE MORNING!"
K: "It's a pretty nice butt, if you take out those red spots."
Me: "But I sent her another picture, which does not look like a butt!"


K and S: "Umm..... it sorta does......."
K: "You know, if a person is leaning over......"


I had nothing to say.

Next time, I will refrain from taking pictures while bending any limbs.
