So things have been kinda rough here the past couple of weeks, huh?

[She rubs at her neck, realizing that's probably a pretty stupid thing to say.]

I don't wanna focus on it too much, but um, if there's anything anybody whose deathtolling needs, let me know? I don't have any medical training or anything like that, but I got cards? Or if you just want quiet company, I can do that, too.

[Daneca smiles a little.]

Though that goes for just about anybody, I guess. I feel like we could all use some company. Anybody know any good jokes?

Oh! I've got one!

So a man takes his dog to the vet and goes, "My dog's cross-eyed! Is there anything you can do?" The vet picks him up by the ears and gets a good look at his eyes and goes, "Well, I'm going to have to put him down."

And the man is like, "What! Because he's cross eyed?"

And the vet goes, "No, because he's heavy!"

[Yeah he just made an awful vet joke, appreciate him.]

[advocacy]

[She does appreciate him! Daneca laughs, covering her mouth with a hand.]

Oh my God, Scott! That's terrible.

[semifreakingnormal]

[Appreciation makes him grin!]

But you laughed.

[advocacy]

I didn't want to!

[She's having a hard time stopping now.]

[semifreakingnormal]

Oh my god, you're laughing harder. Your weakness is totally dumb vet jokes.

[advocacy]

I was hoping you wouldn't find out!

[semifreakingnormal]

It's okay, I'll totally keep your secret. Completely safe with me.

[advocacy]

Why don't I believe you?

[semifreakingnormal]

Cause this is totally public.

[advocacy]

You're such a jerk.

[semifreakingnormal]

You're the one who laughed!

[advocacy]

How could I not!? That was so bad!

[semifreakingnormal]

Hey, it was a good joke!

[advocacy]

Really?

[semifreakingnormal]

...It was a good vet joke?

[advocacy]

Gotta be honest, I think those words together contradict each other.

[semifreakingnormal]

Wow, I'm hurt.

[advocacy]

I can tell.

[semifreakingnormal]

I hide my pain really well. [Like, with big smiles.]

[advocacy]

Scott McCall: the enigma of the Barge.

[semifreakingnormal]

Yep. That's me.

Hey, it's your turn now. Joke time.

[advocacy]

Okay, okay.

[She pauses and thinks for a second.]

What's at the bottom of oceans and shivers?

[semifreakingnormal]

Ummm...I don't know, lobster? Lobsters live on the bottom, right?

[advocacy]

Nope. A nervous wreck.

[semifreakingnormal]

Uhh.

[Wait - could it - no--]

...I don't get it.
