Animal jokes
.
Ianto stood looking at the rabbits in the tree with that weird fascination one has when on a really good drug kicks in. After all … white rabbits in a tree that seems to be weird flowers or fruit, it not something you come across a lot. Right?
Owen was also transfixed with the weird thing, "Is that real?"
"Some sort of Alien seed came thought the Rift I guess, way out here it seeded… rooted in and… grew. I think … I think this is … fruit?" Ianto canted his head as Owen reached out stroke one, then shiver "Not fur?"
"No. Feels sort of… rubbery."
"Huh" Ianto started taking photos for Jack.
"Why do you never see elephants hiding in trees?" Owen asked and Ianto froze with horror as Owen finished with "Because they're so good at it!"
"Owen!" Ianto warned, the phone pinging with a message from Jack of excitement telling Ianto they were a delicacy, bring some back before destroying the tree please.
"How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together!" Owen was starting to dig in as Ianto pulled out his phone to call Jack, mean while Owen thought of another one "Two goldfish are in a tank. One says to the other, "Do you know how to drive this thing?" get it? A tank?"
"Jack? He's doing it again. I know we agreed that if he did then you would…"
"Why are fish so good at watching their weight?" Owen pulled a Rabbit Fruit off the tree "Because they have lots of scales."
"I know… but you are not here and I don't know if I can…"
"What happened when 500 hares got loose on Main Street?" Owen seemed demanding now "The police had to comb the area."
Can you hear him?" Ianto was also demanding …with anger, "Can you fucking hear him? You promised Jack. You promised you were sorting this. I do not find this remotely…"
"Late one night a burglar broke into a house and while he was sneaking around he heard a voice say, "Jesus is watching you." He looked around and saw nothing. He kept on creeping and again heard, "Jesus is watching you." In a dark corner, he saw a cage with a parrot inside. The burglar asked the parrot, "Was it you who said Jesus is watching me" The parrot replied, "Yes." Relieved, the burglar asked, "What is your name?" The parrot said, "Clarence." The burglar said, "That's a stupid name for a parrot. What idiot named you Clarence?" The parrot answered, "The same idiot that named the Rottweiler Jesus." Oh god… I love that one" Owen sighed happily then his smile fed as Ianto held out the phone.
"Jack?" Owen said softly, ready to argue.
"Owen… that is enough" Toshiko's voice was full of anger "Get back here now!"
"But…"
"No! Get back here now and stop with the jokes or I will wipe ALL your games in the system!"
Owen whined as he stomped to the SUV with an arm full of Rabbit Fruit and waited for Ianto to finished destroying the tree then come back to drive home. On the way Ianto resisted the urge to put the window down to encourage Owen to poke his head out the window.
Clearly heading for the Dog House.
