Overheard at the park

Older gentleman at swings, "I'm getting my colonoscopy next week."

Daughter, "Is medicare paying for it?"

"I don't know, I'm just trying to get everyone off my ass," he sincerely said. I waited for the wink, the guffaw.

Finally, I wanted to shout over the din of playground noise, "so to speak, har har."

Really, if you swear all the time you miss opportunities for great fun.
