Jayus
“From Indonesian, meaning a joke so poorly told and so unfunny that one cannot help but laugh.”
Jayus is a small demon. He wears a large pink ribbon tied in a bow around his neck. He has a severe underbite, rather like a piranha. He is scaly, but may look like a cross between a rabbit and a bulldog. And he has small, leathery wings.
Jayus likes to frequent cocktail parties and first dates. He thrives on feelings of discomfort. He also enjoys bourbon, but only in small quantities.
Jayus has older siblings. His sister is that demon who causes inappropriate laughter at serious events. He has an older brother, Schadenfreude, who is very popular.
Jayus also likes small children, but eventually they outgrow him for the most part.
Small demons like Jayus cause minimal harm. He may irritate momentarily but the laughter he evokes prevents any lasting damage.
Solitary followers of Jayus may eventually experience social ostracism, but those who practice Jayus-worship in a group setting suffer no-ill effects.
