AN: Okay so I'm supposed to be working but this thought came to me and I just had to run with it! Very short, no summary. Just Jack/Humour.


JACK'S GUILTY PLEASURE


If the guys ever found out they would kill him for this simple deception. After all these years they still had no idea and it made him smile. He had been looking forward to this moment for the longest of times. It had, he suddenly realised, actually been almost a year since the last time he got to do this and boy was he excited.

He remembered the first time Teal'c had ever asked him about this particular hobby and out of sheer sarcasm he denied any knowledge of it. Of course his large friend took him completely literally and it had set them on the path of a nine year banter that had now reached the point where he never could admit that he had been hoodwinking them all. He grimaced a little at the thought of getting caught but couldn't help smiling broadly again.

He was actually really surprised that Carter hadn't figure him out, she usually could tell when he was bluffing, sometimes he thought she was a better poker player than she let on, she certainly beat him a little too often to be that lucky. Daniel was, as ever, totally clueless. He could dangle the fact in front of him on a piece of string and actually had done on any number of given occasions, usually when he was completely distracted and he had simply not noticed the subtle admission. No such game could ever be played with the shrewd jaffa.

Jack wandered through the house preparing himself with his usual amount of ritual. He went to the loo, double locked the front and back doors of his home, turned off his phone and shut the curtains. His truck was already parked round the corner so that any unexpected visitors would assume he was out. He was supposed to be at the cabin anyway so the chances of being disturbed were negligible. Next he grabbed the beer from the fridge and dressed for the occasion by slipping off his slacks and flopping onto the couch in nothing but his boxers, socks and favourite tee. His snacks were all ready and the sound was way too loud, or at least it would be when he turned it on. He pressed play and waited...

The Simpson's theme tune filled the room. "Dammit Jack!" he frowned to himself and hauled himself up and across to the DVD player. It took a moment for the disc to eject and he replaced it with the correct one. A few minutes later a second and equally familiar tune filled the air making him grin from ear to ear.

His happy tuneless humming gave way to words spoken out loud. Since the second time he had ever watched this in the seventies he had done exactly the same thing.

"It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire."

He sighed and took a swig of his beer. "Ah George Lucas you are a genius!"


AN: Hope that made you smile...back to work for me... :)
