Stupid goddamn cultural survey

[bornsnarky]

[have a resigned doctor standing in front of you with a tricorder]

I'm doing a cultural survey. Tell me a joke.

I probably won't laugh.

(my net keeps dying. I'm on my phone now, well um not literally, and I can't stay on here, sob. Will pick up again, net permitting, thanks all!)

... Can I laugh?

[bornsnarky]

Can I stop you?

[borncaptain]

No.

[bornsnarky]

[resigned sigh]

Would you just tell me a goddamn joke already?

[tbonesyou]

Jokes, huh? I can do that.

[bornsnarky]

[grudging nod]

Go ahead.

If there are ten cats on a boat and one jumps off, how many cats are left on the boat?

[bornsnarky]

[stares at you]

.......nine?

[kepthishead]

What?

[bornsnarky]

A joke? You have humour in your culture?

[kepthishead]

Don't be ridiculous! I just can't think of one while you're pointing that at me.

[bornsnarky]

[eyebrows shoot up]

This is too much pressure?

[You opt to lick the TRICORDER instead.]

[bornsnarky]

...

I, uh, I don't think that's a good idea.

[I'll just wipe off the corner of it on my shirt, then display it to you]

Tricorder. Records all sorts of data for me. You don't have anything like it in your culture?

[needsahandjob]

A real one, or one on the internet?

[... relevantly he has no hands.]

[bornsnarky]

[notes your handlessness, hm]

Whatever you find funniest, son.

[needsahandjob]

"Social experiment" it is. Nice work.

[bornsnarky]

Huh. That's the joke?
