So Funny It Hurts
(I have hit my elbow quite hard getting out of the car, and when I go inside both my parents are sitting on the sofa.)
Me: “You know what really hurts hurts?”
(I have planned to finish with “smashing your funny bone” but apparently my parents have other plans…)
Mom: “Catching fire?”
Dad: “Getting struck by lightning?”
Mom: “Getting run over by a car?”
Dad: “Getting run over by a TRUCK?”
Mom: “Getting run over by a TRAIN?!”
Dad: “Getting eaten by a shark?”
Mom: “Getting mauled by a lion?”
Dad: “Sitting through an entire country music concert?”
Mom: “Falling into a bear trap?”
Dad: “Being flayed?”
Mom: “Sitting on a bee?”
Dad: “Alternatively, I imagine it must hurt to be a bee that someone sits on.”
Mom: “True…”
(All righty then…)
