spohkh | Personal Log #16 - Accidental Voice w/ Eleytheria

"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.
Spock is in Green, and Eleytheria is in Blue~]

[And things only get stranger as a sea lion answers the feed, laughing quite excitedly.]

Hahaha, yes! Those are good-a jokes!

Jokes are kind of a foreign tongue to you boys aren't they?

Here let me lay one on ya.

Murphy is sitting on a plane beside a Muslim. The flight attendant asks if he would like a whisky, and he eagerly replies "yes I would". She then asks the Muslim beside him if he would like a whiskey, to which the Muslim, offended by the offer because of his religion, angrily replies "Why not just offer me two flaming whores instead?" At this Murphy startled says "I didn't know that was an option!! Can I change me order?!"

[He does the appropriate voices and actions as well]

[Well, she laughs, at least. Not at the jokes, but, rather, at their difficulties with the jokes and at their realization that their conversation has been recorded.]

I don't think you're supposed to figure out jokes with logic and reasoning. They're supposed to either be funny to you or not.

_{[ His head is in his hands and it's a toss up if he's weeping or if he's laughing or both. ]}

And this is why Vulcan's will never write a joke book...

[Steve is biting his lip to keep from laughing.]

To be honest, I thought the doctor joke was pretty clever.

I think you guys are overthinking this a LOT. Funny stuff doesn't have to be logical or whatever!! It's not like it's science or something.

[ Like you're making it seem like homework or something how do you even. ]

[This is the guy who couldn't figure out what a joke was before, right? Doesn't sound like he's made much progress, and his friend isn't any better.]

Your jokes suck. I'd say it's almost kinda funny, but it's mostly just painful to listen to.
