38.) Prank*
Jim had managed to restrain himself a lot longer than Leonard had expected him to. He thought the kid would only make it to a week before he broke. Instead, his captain had lasted an entire month before he could no longer resist. He was also smart enough to exclude everything medical related.
Captain or not, best friend or not, Leonard would have killed Jim in the most agonizing way possible if he dared to involve his medical bay in the kid's prank war. Well, maybe he wouldn't have killed the kid, but he would certainly be more than a little hypo happy.
Leonard was proud of the kid though. Not only did Jim last an entire month without pulling a prank, he was being fair and responsible with his prank war. It was Jim versus the crew, and there were rules to keep things from going too far and to keep anyone from getting injured or accidentally killed. That last one was mainly for Jim.
As long as he and his medical bay were left alone, the kid could have his prank war. It actually kept Jim out of trouble.
