The Vulcan Who Drew On Napkins

Nerds. They usually had nasally voices and snorted when they laughed while discussing things of no significance to the world as if these subjects were everything. He despised them, and it was no secret that he did.
Joseph worked in a little diner situated a little away from a hotel. Twice a year a Science Fiction convention would be held there, and many nerds would congregate for their little Mecca of flying saucers. Business was usually slow where he worked, but during those two times of a year the diner would be packed with nerds of all kinds for three days in conjunction with each event.
Some of the more fanatical nerds would still be dressed in their, as Joseph would describe it, pathetic costumes of theirs. That evening was no exception. A group of four nerds had just stepped in, waiting to be seated; they were still dressed in their Star Trek costumes, two of whom had their tight-fitting costumes wrapped around their manly bulges snugly. Joseph didn't resist rolling his eyes as he showed them to their table, but fortunately none of them noticed as they were too engrossed chatting amongst themselves.
The evening wore on and the crowd began to dissipate. Those four nerds were still eating and drinking, laughing and talking rather loudly, much to his annoyance. At long last they got up and left after having their bill settled. He went to the table to clear it, where, having arrived at it, he stopped short and stared in amazement. One of the paper napkins had been left unused – or rather, it had been used – on it was a detailed pen drawing of a seahorse with a mock Art-Nouveau styled border.
One of the nerds had drawn it. He wondered who. Quietly he picked up the napkin, put it in his pocket, and cleared the table up as quickly as he could.
