Funny Ha Ha "That idiot reminds me of a funny story." Wu Fei peeked at Duo from the corner of his eye before returning to watching the graceful sweep of the dancers passing before him. He was trying his best to keep a straight face, this was supposed to be a formal occasion, even if it was a celebration, but since he had had that unexpected… and enjoyable… assignation with Maxwell a few hours before it was hard to keep a serious demeanour. He kept wanting to grin like a fool and all because the one who was too often called a Jester had nearly smothered them with a kiss he had no intention of breaking until they passed out from lack of oxygen. Wu Fei felt thoroughly kissed indeed by the time they left the study. It was rather a nice feeling. "We are not supposed to be standing around swapping funny stories." "I know that, Fei. But that git trying to sell Sanc nuclear power really reminds me of this funny story." "Funny in whose definition of the word?" Dark eyes rolled with his exasperation. "Funny as in `funny ha ha', Fei. No foolin', it's a funny story." "Why are we… Fine. Alright. Tell me the joke." Maybe then he could get Maxwell to behave. "It's funny. Promise. That arsehole from the NEC pushing the nuclear power made me think of it. I was thinking at the time that he reminded me of a jester dancing before the King telling jokes, laughing at his own jests like a fool…" "Maxwell, you are rambling. Get on with it!" Chang hissed. "Fine. See, there was a stranger seated next to an 8-year old girl on an aeroplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers'. The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?' 'Oh , I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiled. Just like that slimy snake smiled at Sexy." "Duo!" "Fine. 'OK,' the little girl said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff-grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?' And the stranger…" "What has animal excrement to do with nuclear power and the chairman of the NEC?" "Hush, Fei, I'm telling a joke. The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.' To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?' " Duo grinned, a thousand watt grin at the dark eyes widening to stare at him. ~ * ~ |
