Sam couldn't help but laugh at Teal'c's attempt to tell a joke. It wasn't
that it was funny it was just the way he told it.
"Changing the subject." Daniel said. "Sam what was your best memory from high school?"
"Which one?" She asked.
"How many did you attend?" He questioned.
"Three. Dad got moved around a lot after Mom died. The best memory from when I was a freshman would have to be Dr Hunter."
"Dr Hunter?" Jack asked.
"He was my science teacher. He liked to explain things using food metaphors."
"So that's what the whole apple wormhole, doughnut thing was about?"
"No. The apple is a legitimate theory for how wormhole's work. It says so right in my book, page 137." She winked at him. "The best memory of junior year would have to the football game I attended. The team had lost all season so they were big on trying to get support. That game they actually by about by ten touch downs."
"You went to a football game and they won?" Daniel asked.
"I liked football. All those men in tight shorts. Besides I had a bet with a couple of the airmen at the base that they would win."
"What exactly did you win?" Daniel asked.
"I had a very nice garden for about six months before we moved again. Dad never figured out that I had a four airmen turning up bright and early on Sunday mornings to tend to it."
"This was in between beating them at all sorts of sporting events." Jack said recalling some of the stories Jacob had told him.
"I had to get past the whole geeky scientist thing some how. Besides Airmen have always been easy pickings."
"What about senior year?" Daniel inquired.
"Jed Brown."
"Jed Brown?" Jack asked.
"He took me to the prom. He looked cute in his uniform and he was a really good dancer."
"And Jacob didn't kill you for dating an airman?" Daniel asked.
"Not really, I had back up dates in case he did."
"So what happened to Jed Brown?" Jack asked.
"He died six months later in a mishap that I wasn't supposed to know about but managed to talk someone into to telling me."
"You were very manipulative weren't you?" Jack said.
"No, I was all sweetness and light. I was good at making friends, my father outranked most of them and I was a lot smarter than they were. Besides military men have very fragile ego's being beaten by a teenage girl can be a very useful thing."
"Hey watch it with the egos thing." Jack said.
"Jack she does have a point. The Marines do have a fragile ego, I mean they weren't impressed when Teal'c out lifted them all the other day."
"That was because Janet and I happened to mention that women liked strong men and there was no-one stronger than base than Teal'c ever so subtly in the infirmary when they didn't realise that we knew they were there."
"Why thank you Major Carter." Teal'c said.
"It's the truth." She shrugged. "And owing to Jack's bad influence, it's always nice to get one over on the Marines."
"I'm so proud." Jack put his hand over his heart.
"Plus denting their egos is payback for the dumb blonde joke they made the other day."
"I know some great dumb blonde jokes." Jack said. "Why did the blonde put her finger over the nail she was hammering? The noise gave her a headache and what did the blonde say when she opened the box of Cheerios? Oh, look! Doughnut seeds!" Sam scowled at him.
"Sam are you okay?" Daniel asked.
"I'm fine Daniel; I'm just trying to remember the address of a nice cold planet to send Jack to."
"Sam I was just kidding." Jack apologized.
"I wasn't."
"Not to self, no more blonde jokes."
"Not to self remember to finish writing the gate jamming program I'm working on."
"Daniel Jackson, I think it is time that we partake in another drink." Teal'c said rising.
"Right behind you Teal'c." Daniel got up and followed him.
