Apophis Pun
Author's Note: Hi, people. I've been inspired by some Stargate fanfic authors who write humor-category stories. I think humor is one of the key aspects of the show, so I love humor fanfics. I'm writing this one as my first humor fanfic, so please go easy on me. I'm not intending it to be a great piece of humor-fic; just thought I'd show it as I'm curious how you feel about it. You might think it's really corny, I'm aware. Sorry if I'm annoying you and wasting your time by writing this attempt at humor.
SG-1's was currently in the middle of discussing a mission briefing where they'd be fighting some of the system lord Apophis's Jaffa ground forces as well as those of his ally Heru'ur.
"We'll expedite defeating this Jaffa division by taking out Aphophis's uh, uh Officicisers… blah! I always stick myself when saying these tongue-twisters out loud. I meant to say we'll start by eliminating Apophis's office-scissors…dope! Got tongue-twisted again. You know what I mean—those officers who lead troops in this division. Now, ya see, our goua'uld friends, being the little pests they are, don't conveniently name their officers from general all the way down to corporal. Just gotta make our doing tasks much more inconvenient than necessary—anyway they don't structure their infantry in similar units like we do. So we take out his first prime—and the term first prime is redundant by the way. So we'll start by taking out that guy, alright, then we'll attack the Apophis regiment officer. Everybody still with me? Good. Then we eliminate the ol' Apophis office..cissyer..uh goshdarnit people, I fumbled again."
Daniel Jackson made an attempted helpful suggestion. "I think we need to use more intelligible language. Spoken language is the primary medium in which human beings communicate in social settings. If we can't communicate effectively using spoken language dialogue, then..."
Teal'c says sternly :"Daniel Jackson I believe Colonel O'Neill is about to launch one of his bitter verbal tirades to invoke you to stop going off an a boring tangent. Stop now and you shall spare us having to listen to such tirade."
Sam Carter nodded her head vigorously and blurted out: "Ohhhhh yeah! We've all seen what that's like when Colonel O'Neill might starts using foul-intending language. Don't goad him, Daniel."
Jack sighed a huge sigh of relief and smiled a mischevious smile. "Thanks, T. Thanks, Carter! ' He sighs. Then he lights up and seems about to have an epiphany. 'Ah hah!' he says . We'll just call those guys Apophiccers. He smiles satisfiedly and visibly relaxed, sitting back in his chair and plunking his feet on the table.
The other three SG-1 members just stared at each other, each evaluating the validity what Jack had just suggested.
