An early one, tonight...

So Digit is good at humour, but not quite there yet on the facial expressiveness...

"You're smiling, aren't you?"

I don't know... her face looks the same, from one panel to the next...

If she ever learns to play poker... may Ghu have mercy on her opponents.

I'm definitely jealous of her in a way. I too find it difficult to keep from cracking up during the set-up, and my face usually gives me away. (That, and the great long-suffering experience of my usual targets. My wife has a tendency to scowl at me before I finish talking, and say "OK, what's the pun?")

Well, she does have an advantage at keeping a straight face, but giggling would give the game away.

I, OTOH, seem to manage to sell the setup quite well - it sometimes takes my victims a second or two to realise they've been had.

My ex says--quite often--that no one understands my jokes. But she does admit that I'm a master baker. Or something like that.

I'm not taking that bait.

In high school and into college, I made a specialty of shaggy dog jokes . . . My personal best was slightly over fifteen minutes to tell the Kludgemaker, and a full thirty seconds before the victim reacted.

By which time I was long gone.

"They'll fall off on their own..."

So instead of putting on their sassy-pants in the morning, jumping spiders ready their sassy-spinnerets?

The mention of twentysomethings and it seeming to refer to Digit has me nervously looking around for another timeskip somewhere..

Yup. While a human might have a sassy-pants valet, a jumping spider would have a sassy 'ret butler. I'm sure Scarlet could confirm that.

Oh, and wouldn't Digit have been hatched sassy?

Still born, but not birthed.

Shades of Mrs. Jessica Rabbit, which btw, was the 1st Laser Disk I ever owned...
