Ow - Part 2
ERNIE: Mom said you slipped and fell this morning.
ME: Yup.
ERNIE: Aw. Are you okay?
ME: Yeah, I've inflicted worse upon myself.
ERNIE: Like that one time, on the front porch, with the bleeding.
ME: Yeah. Like that.
ERNIE: And you didn't ruin your shoes like that other time!
ME: That is what's important, yes.

ME: Good morning, Shiny Office, May I help you?
BILL: Hi! They were playing "Carry On, My Wayward Son" on the radio a few minutes ago, and I called, but you weren't there, so you missed it.
ME: Aw. Yeah, I was busy slipping and falling and beating up my knee.
BILL: Why'd you slip?
ME: I sort of...walked through a puddle outside, and...mumblemumble walking fast to catch the elevator mumble...
BILL: *sigh* I'm going to get you a helmet.
ME: I didn't hit my head, I'm better at falling than that.
BILL: But the possibility is there.
ME: Hmph.
BILL: Here, I'll sing "Wayward Son" for you and make it better: Da-dun-da daaaah! Da-dun-da daaaah! Da-da-dadada!
ME: Yup.
ERNIE: Aw. Are you okay?
ME: Yeah, I've inflicted worse upon myself.
ERNIE: Like that one time, on the front porch, with the bleeding.
ME: Yeah. Like that.
ERNIE: And you didn't ruin your shoes like that other time!
