“I go for a run every morning,” I tell my colleague.

“Seriously?” she says, eyeing my not-so-slender body.

“Oh yes,” I respond. “Every morning I run around the house, yelling, “Fuck, I overslept again!”

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to run.

        I need a better riposte than just “can’t you all stop being so boring” and this will be a very good one!!!
