Just what I get for watching a SyFy marathon. I get hooked on a new series and a new ficlet bashes me over the head. What did I do to deserve this?
I own not Doctor Who, nor do I own Abbott and Costello. For a laugh - you-tube "Who's on First." You'll get it.
"Who are you?" asked the girl, awed.
The enigmatic stranger smiled. "Just call me the Doctor."
"Doctor what?" inquired the fellow.
Which threw the Doctor for a loop. "No, actually, What is my brother, and he prefers to be called Reverend. Usually they ask if I'm Doctor Who," he muttered, under his breath.
This tickled the fellow's funny bone for some reason. "...Who and What? Is there another one of you called 'I Don't Know'?"
The Doctor blinked. "Our cousin, why, do you know him?"
The two humans shared a bemused look. "...have you ever met a couple of chaps called Abbott and Costello?" asked the girl.
"You know, I do believe I have. Amusing fellows, though not particularly funny. They were trying their hands at comedy when I met them; dreadful act." The Doctor shook his head at the memory.
"...I think they've improved a bit since you met them," laughed the fellow.
"Really? How?"
The girl giggled. "You-tube it, Doctor. Just... just you-tube it."
