I had been interested in Serenity for quite some time when I finally plucked up the courage to ask her on a date. The fact that she was the mutt's sister had no interest to me, I liked her for who she was. When she said yes to the date she told me that her brother was going to probably give me a lecture about being nice and not taking advantage, etc, etc. The best way to get through to him I was told was to joke with him, to show that I was just as human as he and his friends were.
When I picked her up that night the mutt, Joey, was waiting for me. He glared as I walked into the living room to wait while Serenity finished getting ready. I don't know why women do that, tell you to pick them up t a certain time, but still be doing their hair or make up when you arrive. I mean really, if you're not going to be ready then tell me and I'll come a little later, or you could start gettign ready earlier and then actually be ready when you say you'll be.
"Now, no funny stuff Kaiba. My sister ain't easy and I want her treated nice. She's a lady and if you mess with her in any way..." I wrack my mind for a good joke, something he's familiar with that he'd know was a joke. I almost tune him out, listening only for a good idea for a joke. I can't joke about her being a lady, that would just upset hi,m and possibly Serenity. 'Treat her nice?' Of course I'll 'treat her nice' you insufferable idiot, what do you think I am? Suddenly it hits me, the perfect opening for a 'your mama', or in this case sister, joke. I remember they were quite popular a while ago, I used to hear Yugi and his friends spout them back and forth and no matter how insulting they seemed everyone laughed because it was quite clear it was a joke.
"Please Wheeler," I let my voice slip back into the sarcastic tone he knows so well "Your sister is so easy that in the world of quantum mechanics I've already slept with her in every universe." I heard Serenity give a snort of laughter from her room and as she came out, finally ready, she was trying not to smile. I smiled back at her quite pleased with myself for delivering such a perfect joke. Serenity just shook her head at me a little as she got her coat.
As we left, Joey was speechless. Yes I'd say that was the, what was it they said? Oh yes, the 'ultimate burn.'
Lol, so this story isn't inspired by something that happened to me. The epic fail 'your mama' joke I came across the other day and laughed because of how dorky it sounded and I was reminded of Kaiba if he were to try to fit in and yet he fails miserably. Anyway please review and if anyone has ideas for other shorts feel free to let me know ^-^
