Like the last time they covered this topic, a handwavy e-mail was sent round letting the students know to wear clothes they wouldn't mind getting messy. Also like last time, there's a table out by the dear God not lit campfire -- but it's not covered with cream pies. Instead, there's plastic laundry tubs full of multicolored balloons

Make With the Quippy

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander, still soaking wet, gives a wave at the students.

"Okay, slapstick has its time and place, which is... in a few minutes, actually -- but now you get to try the other thing.

Your team's trapped in a tunnel, waiting for somebody to dig you out from the other end. Your second-in-command's about to strangle your team leader due to unresolved sexual tension issues about why the hell he's second in command when if you'd listened to him you wouldn't be trapped in a tunnel. Your brainiac's about to kill them both or cry, possibly both, and the spiders on the ceiling are really freaking out the big guy with the itchy trigger finger

Angela? Not so much a funny story person. In the real world in this situation, she'd be crying with the braniac.

But for class ..."So, so the spiders? Remind me of this really geat joke I heard," she said earnestly. "See, a grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender said, 'Y'know, we have a drink named after you.'"

She paused, hoping she was telling it right.

"And the grasshopper said, 'You have a drink named Frank?'."

And closed her eyes, hoping no one decided to bring out rotten tomatoes over that joke.

River began to laugh hysterically at that, so much that she fell over.

Re: Make With the Quippy

[chasingangela]

Angela gave River an uncertain smile. "Wasn't that funny," she said. "I mean, was it?"

Re: Make With the Quippy

[moonbrain_tam]

"You told it funny," River replied. Which was true. Picking up the thoughts people have when telling a joke usually improved the joke itself.

Angela grinned. "Well, thanks."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[lilpunkinbelly]

Dawn giggled. "Impressive, Angela."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[chasingangela]

"Thanks," Angela said. Then rubbed her forehead. "Um. When I thought I was Joxer? I'm sorry about being ... Joxer."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[lilpunkinbelly]

"No problem," Dawn waved it off. "Except for the armor, and your lack of belief in girls being able to protect themselves, you were pretty normal."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[chasingangela]

"The armor was what I was thinking of," Angela said.. "I have no idea where the girl thing game from. Sorry."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Totally not your fault," Dawn shrugged. "I mean, you thought you were Joxer, right? So...I guess that's what you think he's like?"

Re: Make With the Quippy

[chasingangela]

"About all I know about him is 'warrior, Kaylee, armor, ancient Greece," Angela said. "I kind of filled in the rest."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[lilpunkinbelly]

"You did a good job," Dawn tried to sound supportive. "I didn't know it wasn't him."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[chasingangela]

"I'm not sure what they says about him. Or, like, me," Angela said. "I'm glad it's over, anyhow."

Re: Make With the Quippy

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Me too," she agreed. "It was pretty confusing."

Sakurazaki was never particularly good with the humour part of things, but she did have a favourite joke.

"A Buddhist goes to a hot dog stands and says 'Make me one with everything.' "

She smirked lightly. Ahh, Buddhist humour.
