[ Charlie's seated on the beach again, holding a remote control in one hand while some sort of quadcopter/car thing sits nearby. She's installing batteries and pressing switches on the remote into the copter,frowning just a bit and looking over directions. ]

...shoulda paid attention to the guy I bought this from.

[ Oh, well. She turns again to address the MID, smiling a bit. ]

When I was eleven years old, I lived with my grandparents. At one point, I got really sick and had to stay in bed for a good, long while. A few weeks, I think. My grandfather had this habit of telling me a joke when I was feeling miserable. It was always the same joke, but it made me laugh every time.


I just remembered it and wanted to know if anyone else had a better one.

[ This may be a vague challenge towards one Nathan Drake. And Charlie is bored. ]

A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. Three years later there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says: ‘What the hell was that all about?’


[ She shrugs and smirks some, rolling her eyes a tad. ]

Stupid, I know. But I love it. Let's hear another one.

[ I have a love of jokes. Good ones, bad ones. Ones where the person telling the joke just can't stop laughing. Because those jokes are usually the worst, but the laughing from the person telling the joke is awesome.

I always appreciated it when someone could deliver a joke completely deadpan. But both have their good points, I guess.

Same. When a joke is delivered in that lovely, flat tone? It actually makes it funnier.

You just like jokes, that's what I'm hearing.

Smiling and laughter are kind of rare back home, so I'm not picky about how a joke is delivered.

I can see why you remember that so fondly, then. About your grandfather's joke, I mean.

It's a great memory.

I'm trying to remember one I could tell you, but most of the ones York told were kind of dirty.

We were in the military.
