Every Day Quotes: January
Jan 1
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
Peter Ustinov
Anthony DiNozzo stumbled into the squad room and collapsed in his chair, glancing up to confirm only two things. One: a certain Leroy Jethro Gibbs was nowhere to be seen. And two: his teammates looked as bad as he felt.
New Year's Day was quite possibly the worst day in the world as far as he was concerned. Partly because New Year's Eve was so amazing. Gibbs would always make sure they weren't on duty, the annual NCIS party to bring in the New Year was much better than anything the FBI could organize (the same agency Tony swore could not organize a piss-up in a brewery), and there was always a free bar.
Which the agents took full advantage of.
And somehow, every year, every member of Team Gibbs managed to forget that their boss always made sure that they had the New Year's Day shift.
Therefore, tired and hungover (and possibly still slightly drunk in Tony's case), they had to handle all the Navy and Marine personnel who committed copious crimes while in a similar condition.
"Why has Gibbs made us come in?" Tony groaned aloud.
"Because he hates us." Upon finishing her proclamation, Ziva put her forehead back on her desk and continued to appear dead.
"He was definitely drinking," McGee somehow recalled. "And making out with a redhead in a corner…"
Ziva's head shot up, wincing as she stared at him in shock.
"Nope, that was Fornell," Tony corrected. Ziva instantly settled down again. "Although they are easy to get confused – both horrible people who would make their teams work today. Who invited Fornell anyway?"
"Gatecrashed," Gibbs announced, appearing out of nowhere. "Gear up. Some idiot left an anonymous tip that he abandoned his pet skunk on an aircraft carrier."
