I was super bored, and thought this was funny. So, I turned a joke into a short Percy Jackson story. It took me like, five minutes, which is also cool. I might do more of these.

Leo's POV

The Argo II was flying. Leo had finally gotten the oars to work, and Festus was giving reports on the various sail and oar mechanics. Everything seemed to be in order.

In fact, nothing had even tried to kill Leo or any of the other seven in over an hour, so everything was bliss.

Of course, however, this meant they were arguing.

Leo had just called in a lunch, and was sitting down in the mess hall, when he heard loud sounds of complaint and annoyance echoed up from the cabins. He could hear Frank and Jason's voice, and they seemed to be in heated discussion. The noises got louder, and Leo could make out some of the words as he sat down.

"No, that's just…no," Jason said. "Knowledge is like…a cupboard of all the things you know, right? And wisdom…"

"Woah, woah, woah," Frank interrupted. "That's not what knowledge is. I would say knowledge is a lot more than just a collection of facts. Surely, if you knew what wisdom was, that's knowledge."

Piper and Hazel came into the mess hall, looks of bemused annoyance on their faces as they sat down. Leo looked at them curiously, and both girls sighed and shook their heads.

"Don't," Piper groaned.

"Our idiotic boyfriends have been arguing over the difference between knowledge and wisdom for at least half an hour now," Hazel grumbled, as she reached for a piece of French toast.

Leo grinned. Of course they were.

The noises grew even louder as Jason and Frank entered the mess hall, still arguing.

"What do you mean, knowledge could be the same thing?" Jason complained. "If it was the same thing, why bother making another word for it?"

Frank struggled for an argument, and threw his hands in the air. "I don't know! Maybe because the language is so stupid and complicated."

Jason cried out as he sat down. "Ha! You don't have a response. I win."

Frank sat down as well, and Leo couldn't help but grin at the desperate looks on Piper and Hazel's faces.

"Not having a response doesn't mean your answer is right, Jason!" Frank countered.

Jason opened his mouth, then stopped as the final two people walked in. Percy and Annabeth had looks of confusion on their faces as they eyed the table. Leo waved at Frank and Hazel as the couple sat down. "These two," the son of Hephaestus said, grinning from the drama, "are arguing over the meaning of knowledge and wisdom."

Frank turned to Annabeth. "Annabeth. You're the perfect person for this. Tell Jason what the difference is so I can laugh in his face."

Annabeth opened her mouth, unsure if she wanted to get involved, then saw Piper's pleading face, silently saying, 'Please. End it.'

So, she sighed, and said, "Right. Okay. Knowledge, is a collection of facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education, or it could be the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment. It's the quality of being wise."

Percy grinned at his girlfriend's intelligence – him, like Leo, and from the looks on their faces, everyone else, didn't understand a word from the daughter of Athena's mouth.

Frank opened his mouth, then closed it, frowning. Jason winced, then said, "Perhaps…slightly more simplified?"

As Percy pulled a giant stack of blue pancakes towards him, Annabeth huffed in frustration.

"Fine," she said. She pointed at a bowl of fruit and veg in the middle of the table. "The tomato. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting in a fruit salad. Simplified enough?"

Leo frowned as he stared at the red spherical food. "Damn. That was deep."

Piper nodded in agreement, then said, "So, theoretically, would philosophy be wondering whether ketchup is a smoothie?"

Jason had a look of deep concentration on his face, while Annabeth just zoned out of the conversation with an eye roll, reaching for food.

"Damn," Jason said. "That was even deeper."

Percy, however, had frozen, a look of horror on his face as he stared at Piper. He didn't even notice that he was currently drowning his pancakes in maple syrup…again.

"Common sense," he said above everyone, still staring incredulously at Piper. "Is knowing that ketchup isn't a damn smoothie, you weirdo."

Leo burst out laughing, and was soon joined by everyone else as Percy effectively did what Piper, Hazel and Annabeth had tried – end the conversation.

See? Sort of amusing. I found it funny, anyway. It's quite fun to write, since the story, excluding my notes, was only 751 words, so it could be a cool way for me to try and write decent short scenarios in as small a format as possible, while it's still quality writing.

And, like I said, this took me a total of around 4 and a half minutes, so, I could write a lot of them.

Now I'm thinking about this, I could turn this into a series. If people like this, I'll change its One-shot status and make each chapter a popular or funny joke put into a Percy Jackson or HoO scene, and I'll just write them when I'm bored.
