Personal Log #16 - Accidental Voice w/ Eleytheria

[spohkh]

 "I do not understand, is it not supposed to make logical sense?"

 

"Hmm, I am not certain. I was told that often jokes are humorous because an individual can relate to them or they remind the person of something familiar. For it not to make sense... does that not go against that theory?"

 

"I am uncertain. As I can see, they are filled with grammatical errors with a 'punch line' that is a misrepresentation of the language in which it is told... Do you find anything particularly 'funny' about any of these?"

 

"A punch line...?" [A pause.] "Well... I do not feel the desire to laugh or smile, so I suppose not. Perhaps it really is the delivery of the words that is important."

 

"Hmm... another test then. Knock Knock."

 

"Who is there?"

 

"Orange."

 

"...orange who?"

 

"Are you not pleased that I did not tell you another 'knock knock' joke?" [A Pause.] "That is not right..."

 

"...no. What relation does that have to an orange?" [Confused Eley is confused, but after a moment's silence, he'll speak up again.] "Perhaps I can try a different kind of joke..."

 

"Please do."

 

[Time passes, but soon Eley speaks again.] "I used to be a doctor, but then I lost patients."

 

[A pause.] "You were a doctor? And I have always known you to have an incredible amount of patience."

 

"...ah, no. I was not actually a doctor. That is a part of the joke. Besides that, the word 'patience' is also referring to those the doctor cares for." [Honestly though, he's realizing now how awful a joke it is.] "...death is not funny."

 

"Ah, I see. I believe the joke you just told is classified as a 'pun'."

"A pun... I can only see such jokes as confusing in the long-term. How can you be sure exactly what meaning a person is aiming for?"

 

"Perhaps it is our grasp of the lang-- hmmm... [A pause.] It would seem that my journal has been left open..."

 

[Oh dear.] "Does that mean everyone has been listening to our conversation?"

"That is quite possible...."

[ooc: Replies will be done by both Eleytheria and myself~ Don't be shy to poke fun at our two fail jokers.

I can-a juggle and-a balance on a ball at the same time!

[And he can fall on his face while doing it, too! How cool is that?]

[Then suddenly, his tone becomes melancholy.]

We were-a treated well, until the owners sold the circus. Now we fend-a for ourselves.

Spock blinked... Stefano could do that?
"Fascinating.. would you be amenable to showing me this talent at some point?"

Yeah, this is something he's gotta see.
