a conversation

L: i inherited my father's stomach. If i stopped eating things that gave me heartburn, i'd be living off a diet of water and plain yogurt.

C: yeah, i inherited my dad's colon, which means i'll be getting a colonoscopy when i turn 40!!

L: hm, that sounds fun.

C: yeah, my older brother just had to have, like, 2/3rds of his colon removed. Just chopped it right off! Who needs a colon anyway? What's your colon ever done for YOU??

L:....uh... i'm pretty sure it helps me poop.

[silence]

C: well, there is that.
