At 10:25 am on May 2, 2010, after someone asked him if it was awkward when he told his father, former Erie County Sheriff Robert Gary Merski, about his penis enlargement hobby, Bob Merski wrote “It was awkward at first, but I was close to getting busted so many times that I just thought its a good thing, so why not let those closest to you in on it. Plus, my dad married a woman 10 years younger than him. It was like ripping off a band aid. It was awkward telling him, but then it was done. What it did was make PE less weird and more normal.
Bob Merski was 34 years old at the time, and working as a teacher.
