Damn near killed him

A common joke:

After summer vacation the students sit in a crowded school room and tell stories of what they did over the long, hot months.

"Jimmy, what did you do?" the teacher asks.

"I went to the state fair and ate cotton candy and rode a horse and I watched the games and this guy did the pole vault and the pole went straight up his ass!" Jimmy bellows.

"Rectum, Jimmy, rectum!" the teacher barks, blushing.

"Wrecked'em hell! Damn near killed him!" Jimmy responds.
