100 Words: The Physical

When I joined the army I got a physical examination right at the start- we all did, all the new privates lined up together and displayed their own privates for inspection.  Not much fun but one thing did happen to lighten the mood.

The guy next to me had quite a large one and the doctor, upon seeing this, took out his pencil and lifted it for examination, clearly amazed at the size.

“Blimey,” he said, “I bet this fella’s been out of his cage a few times.”

“Aye,” replied the recruit, “But he’s never been on a perch before.”


Written for 100 Word Challenge #403 on Velvet Verbosity; the prompt was the word Perched.
