• Do You Have It (Guts)

  at aaron & brian’s holiday party last night, after talking with teddy about howaboutwe/writing/writers/etc for about 10 minutes, I turn to his friend who’s been listening politely the whole time:

  me: So. Are…you a writer too?

  him: No, I’m a doctor.

  me: Oh, what’s your specialty?

  him: I’m a gastroenterologist.

  me: Oh.

  him: Guts and stuff.

  me: Yep…

  him: Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

  me: Um…no…and for what it’s worth, no one’s ever asked me that question at a party before, either.

  him: Well, I also like to talk about what I do.
