Today at Hadar we were talking about covenant, and one of the gentlemen in the class, waxing lyrical, said something like "this covenant we inscribe in our flesh..."
Well, only when "we" means "we chaps," and it's yet another of those statements that means very little to most of those present, who have no covenant inscribed in their flesh on account of having ladybits. So I got to wondering.
If you've got the covenant inscribed in your flesh, in the form of a line of scar tissue proclaiming "foreskin woz ere," does it remind you of the covenant every time you see it? Or does it get so's you don't notice it?
I am seriously jolly interested in the answer, but if I know you IRL can you spare my feelings and comment anonymously?

BTW, I wound up having a kosher brit milah (actually, hatafat dam ha-brit) at a more advanced age (in my 40s, IIRC). I was circ'ed in the hospital. At some point, it occurred to me that although the circ was done by a Jewish doctor, there was no that it could be kosher. That's because I was born on 22 Dec, and I was brought home on my parents' anniversary, which was 28 Dec. So the circ was done too early.
