Day 24 - [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

Jan 23, 2011 16:35

[The feed switches on to show a room at the inn. From the pictures hanging on the wall, you can probably guess that it's Namine's room. Roxas is resting at the foot of the bed, Sparky sleeping on his head again.]

Uh...if anyone was wondering, Namine's alright. She just feel asleep.

[There's a pause, and Roxas looks like he's going to ask another ( Read more... )

One has a gun.

[Not that that joke would be funny to most except marines and pirates, but as any pirate will tell you, marines laughing at themselves is rare.]

Alright here's another.

A young ensign had nearly completed his first overseas tour of sea duty when he was given an opportunity to display his ability at getting the ship under way. With a stream of crisp commands, he had the decks buzzing with men. The ship steamed out of the channel and soon the port was far behind.

The ensign's efficiency has been remarkable. In fact, the deck was a buzz with talk that he had set a new record for getting a destroyer under way. The ensign glowed at his accomplishment and was not all surprised when another seaman approached him with a message from the captain.

He was, however, a bit surprised to find that it was a den den mushi message, and he was even more surprised when he heard, "My personal congratulations upon completing your underway preparation exercise according to the book and with amazing speed. In your haste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules. Make sure the Captain is aboard before getting under way!"

....[Give him a minute, we're processing the joke. It gets a little bit of a smile but he's not sure why]

So the guy did everything right but left the captain behind?

justicereigns January 24 2011, 21:35:28 UTC

Exactly.

So even though he got the ship up and running perfectly, they would still have to go back to get the captain, rendering the whole thing moot. Which would also be rather embarrassing.

seasalttwilight January 25 2011, 00:03:32 UTC

Yeah, I guess it would be.

justicereigns January 25 2011, 03:41:55 UTC

But it's a little ironic. So that's the funny part.

seasalttwilight January 25 2011, 05:05:05 UTC

Right. Irony?

justicereigns January 25 2011, 07:45:42 UTC

A type of humor. Or justice.

It's like a twist on the way you expect things to go. Because he did so well with it and was expecting praise, the irony is that he messed up something so basic it's not even written into procedure.

seasalttwilight January 25 2011, 23:38:58 UTC

I think I get it. [He's smiling a bit more now.]

justicereigns January 26 2011, 01:26:15 UTC

Yeah?

Glad to help then. It gets easier with practice I find.

seasalttwilight January 26 2011, 02:00:26 UTC

There's joke books, right? Maybe I could get one of those.

justicereigns January 26 2011, 02:11:42 UTC

Yeah, there are. Couldn't hurt to try I think.

seasalttwilight January 26 2011, 03:07:59 UTC

I'll try it then. I'll see if I can find a good one.

justicereigns January 26 2011, 03:18:52 UTC

Whatever looks amusing.

seasalttwilight January 26 2011, 05:35:04 UTC

[Nod]

I hope I can find one.

justicereigns January 26 2011, 06:02:27 UTC

What city are you in?

seasalttwilight January 27 2011, 05:29:49 UTC

Goldenrod, so it shouldn't be too hard.
