What Goes Around…

At a work dinner last week…

Rob H: When we moved from the city to the lake, our outdoor cat took it pretty hard.

Rob M: How so?

H: Well, he was 12 and he was used to a cushy backyard. At the lake different things come around and more than once he came inside with puncture wounds from a run-in in the night.

M: What sorts of things come around?

H: Huh?

M: At the lake, you said “things come around.” What comes around?

Me: I image the most common thing to come around, is what goes around.

Pause. 

My joke sinks in an we all have a chuckle at my refined humor and go on to talk about raccoons, opossums, coyotes and such.
