Not a rant just a fun memory I want to share

So I was just thinking of a game we sometimes played as kids. I don't know the name of it, or if there is even an official name, but basically the game is: each person in the circle says a word, then the next person says a word, and so on, forming a sentence. It usually is silly nonsense, and kind of funny, depending on how quick and clever the people are, but even if the words aren't clever, it can still turn out to be this weirdly amusing sentence. So one day in high school, many years ago, a couple of friends and I were sitting in the commons, and I suggested that game. We did a couple of rounds, but we were all such dirty-minded teenage boys that it quickly devolved into a series of lewd, vulgar and hilarious strings of profanities. After a couple of tries, We started again.
Me: "Eat.
John: "Me."
Jason: "Bitch."

We all collapsed with laughter at the simplicity of the sentence. Now here it is, over three decades later, I'm a middle-aged man just going about his day, and that memory popped in there. I laughed out loud; the kind of pure, stress-relieving laugh that seems so unattainable after a certain point in one's life. There was no one around to share this not-particularly-interesting anecdote with, so now you, the angsty, psychotic denizens of this sludge pit get to read it.
