Scene: this morning, in the building, on the way to my office. I am running late from having to get blood drawn as a follow-up to a routine check up with my doctor.
Colleague: You look like you're running late this morning.
Me: Yeah, I got held up at LabCorp getting some blood drawn.
Colleague: Is everything ok?
Me: (cheerily) Oh yeah, monthly blood screens were a condition of my federal parole agreement.
Colleague: ____________
Me: (still smiling) I'm just kidding. There was no agreement when I was paroled.
Colleague: ____________
Me: (embarassed) Actually, it was just a cholesterol screening. I'll be fine, thanks.
Colleague: Oh.
Me: I'll, um, see you later.
