There was a lot of jokes told that day and I was feeling reckless so I told a risque joke.
The reception was divisive.
One laugh the hardest he’d laughed all day, so one point to the good.
I tickled myself just by telling it.
Two points to the good.
But the other two humans within earshot did not appreciate the joke.
They didn’t voice their disapproval but it was obvious.
2 points to the bad.
This reaction evoked a pang of regret.
Maybe I shouldn’t have told the joke?
Maybe I should’ve kept quiet and delivered a flawless ‘good boy’ performance?
Then again, life is short.
Then again I can no longer count these two as friends.
Then again this is a great opportunity to practice not being for everyone.
Then again… Ah that’s it! You’re being cut off Duggan!
