MEVBBF: What happened to your hand?
MWCOLA: I broke my thumb.
MEVBBF: Ouch! How'd you manage that?
MWCOLA: No idea. I woke up Tuesday and it was killing me so I went to the doctor and he said I'd broken a bone.
MEVBBF: Huh. That's weird.
MWCOLA: I know. I really need a better story than that. I was thinking I'd start telling people I broke it masturbating.
MEVBBF: Yeah, because that sounds so much cooler than, "No idea."
