Jim is having a truly boring morning. More boring than most mornings. He already finished the two papers that are due tomorrow, he has no classes until 13:00, and it’s the middle of the week so everyone else is busy.
Well, everyone except Bones.
The man in question was sitting as his desk actively ignoring Jim, and that just wouldn’t do.
“Go bother someone else, I have to study.”
“Boooones.” Jim all but draped himself across Bones’ lap. “Tell me a joke.”
“If I do will you leave me alone for half an hour?”
Jim mulled it over before finally nodding.
“What’s the difference between a well dressed man on a bicycle and a poorly dressed man on a tricycle?”
Jim blinked up a Bones blankly. “A tire.”
Suddenly Jim snorted and shoved himself off of Bones’ lap. “That is the worst joke ever!”
But true to his word Jim didn’t bother Bones for half an hour. Though he did giggle and mutter “attire” under his breath every few minutes.
