Finn the Self-Harming Tiger

My best friend looked at my arms and said, "Stop, sh*t, it's bad," then turns right around and says, "You look like a tiger."

So from here on out I am now Finn, the self-harming tiger.

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the sudden, absurd shift in tone. The friend initially expresses concern about self-harm, but immediately follows with a comparison to a tiger, which is completely out of context. Then, the author embraces the comparison to a tiger, creating a ridiculous persona, Finn the self-harming tiger.
