You're queer? I...I...mean gay?

So I've been swimming laps for the last few years a couple of times a week to try and keep my back all functional. And it works. I go to the old peoples pool at the top of Queen Ann and get 40 laps in 2-3 times a week. I love this pool too, no competitive kooks thinking that their the next Mike Phelps or shit like that. Well last week I stopped in a buddy's store in Bro Cal that sells swim stuff and somehow walked out of there with some goggles that fit my beak, a SwiMP3 player and a...speedo. Not the nutt hugger type but still, it's some spandex shit that supposed to let you swim a little faster than my normally turtle pace.
Today was my maiden voyage with the new gear. Jumped in the pool and had the most incredible swim ever. Swimming with music was awesome. Instead of looking underwater the whole time trying to get a mellow perv in, I just swam and swam and swam. Got out of the pool and jumped into the sauna to relax before coming back to work and this my friends is where the real story begins.
Some old dudes in the sauna and he and I start talking. Injuries come into conversation and old dudes got a knee replacement, shoulder replacement and a recent hip replacement. He's dropping f-bombs left and right and then when I ask him what he does, he says "I'm a retired professional football player! I retired in the 70's." Oh word? Cool, what'd you do after football? "I wrote a book." Rad! After that? "Nothing, no one would hire me because of what I said in my book." Oh you mean a sex, drugs and rock and roll type book huh? "Yea kind of, but I also came out in my book." Pause....You're QUEER???!!! I...I...mean gay? "Yea but we didn't call it that when I was your age. We just fucked anything and everything. I got to get out of here, I'm burning up." Later, nice talking with you.
Then I go shower and start to change when one of the real old guy regulars comes walking in laughing. "I just heard one of the little kids say that there were a lot of old men in the locker room." You know what you tell em next time? "What?" That your a rich old guy. "I wouldn't do that." Yea true, you'd save that line for the women's locker room wouldn't ya? "No, I wouldn't." Why not? "Cause I'm gay, that's why!"
Damn speedo is in the trash, back to swimming in trunks.
