Not Long Ago

Not long ago, pretty close to where I live, I told a joke until I revealed the punchline. It was then that I stopped trying to be funny.

Recently

Recently, not long ago, I masturbated until I ejaculated into my own carefully coiffed, very expensive hairdo. It was then that I decided to stop touching my wiener in an autoerotic fashion.

The Other Day

The other day, recently, I shot so much heroin that I vomited for hours upon hours. It was then that I decided to stop injecting powerful opiates.

This One Time

This one time, the other day, I drank so much that I was unable to recall my actions the following day. It was then that I decided to stop consuming alcoholic beverages.
