Large family gatheringaged 11ish. Sitting at a table full of similarly aged cousins and friends. I tell them my favourite joke of the time, punchline of which is "fucking hell it's hit him". I'd previously told a cleaned-up version to my father. Unknown to me he'd heard the start of the joke and hushed the adjacent table (of grandmothers, gentile maiden aunts and the local vicar) so they could listen too. The silence when I reached the uncensored punchline was the most horrific of my life.
