TM #177 Who has made you smile recently?

[r_vecchio]

Dewey told me a joke last night that was actually pretty funny. I guess that made me smile in the “I’m amused but I can’t be bothered to laugh out loud” sort of way. It was one of his better ones. Uh, heh, actually, Benny might quite like it.

Dewser: Do you know why Eskimos always do their laundry in tide?

And I just kinda looked at him like he was crazy ‘cause we’d been talking about- jeez, what were we talking about? Uh, something about Japanese women and how they don’t like other people hearing them, y’know, go to the toilet so the government did- wait a sec.





Okay, so Dewey said I started wrong. Apparently Japanese women don’t like other women hearing them doing their thing, right? So they, so they flush the toilet repeatedly to uh, well, I can only imagine to drown out the noise of them…doing their thing. Anyway, the government- got pissed off ’cause the water went, the water bill went through the roof so some guy - don’t know his name, some guy invented a machine to- that simulates the sound of flushing to- look, I can’t explain it with Dewey interrupting me all the time.

Basically, we were talking about some stupid story and by ‘talking about’ I mean, Dewey was subjecting me to the now usual ear-bashing I’ve come to expect since - coming back to Chicago. Seriously, that man never shuts up. Is a little P & Q too much to ask?

Yeah, you were supposed to read that, moron. Take the hint!

Anyway, where the hell was I? I feel like I’m baby-sitting…

Alright, so he’s telling me about the weirdo-esses across the Pacific and all of a sudden, he just leaps into the joke, like one follows on from the other. Now I don’t see any connection between shy Japanese women and over-hygienic Eskimos and God knows, I’m not gonna ask. So I just look at him kinda strange and he looks back like he’s waiting for somethin’.

When that something doesn’t come along, the uh, goofy grin drops a little, I mean, you almost wouldn’t notice but when you’re close, yeah, I saw it. Then comes the punch line.

Dewser: Because it’s too cold out-tide!

And heaven help me, that actually brought a smile to my face. I think my sense of humor has taken a huge, damaging blow in recent weeks. 





Oh, apparently he was waitin’ for a drum roll.

Like I can read minds.

Is there a reason you're drinking? You are drinking, aren't you? Ray?

(ooc: Ray should ask Ren to kill someone for him, just because I want to experience Ren's thought process and see what he does.... "anything" in terms of if Ray asked Ren, Ren would do everything possible to do it in the most enthusiastic and sincere way, as only Ren can.)
