"No I didn't. Why do you ask?"
"Well he was down the hospital wasn't he?"
"I didn't know that. What's up with him then?"
"He only had to get his asshole stitched up."
"How come?"
"Well you know Bobby from the Rotary Club?"
"Oh yes. What of him?"
"Well he's not an inconsiderable size in the penis department and they reckon he's loosened up Percy's dirtchute with all the bumming they've been up to."
"Poor old Uncle Percy. "
"Yes, I know. Such a shame. A very nice man."
