Twenty - Highway Humor

Mateelda returned to the Van mumbling incoherently. Imee asked her what's wrong with her and she snarled back.

"I'm just asking maybe I could help." Imee said in a pleasing voice trying to befriend her. She knew that Mateelda has a temper and being close to her is next to impossible. Although she tried once when they were on the same shift at the tavern.

In the Van were Mateelda, Jonathan, Amber, Justin, Mara and Imee and Vivianne. The rest of the crews were in the Winnebago 1 and 2.

I think the weather is too hot in that area that made them in such a bad mood. Sometimes the scorching heat of the sun can alter the moods of every individual. The same reason that there is mood disorder or sadness in the form of melancholia when the weather is too cold. Weather has a mean way of giving sudden outburst of psychological and emotional upheaval if the person in question is experiencing the symptoms. For others no effect of change in climate would harm or inflict them. When they have cheery disposition or otherwise naturally born geeky and nerdy no severe weather condition can hamper their goals.

Mateelda was quiet. Almost everyone are. Then suddenly Jonathan breaks the ice. He introduced his knowledge on riddles and jokes. As we hit the highway we are all enjoying, listening to his funny lines of dry humor.

He asked us with all these questions:

"Why did the underwear feel so low?"

" Because it's full of crap?" Justin quickly answered him. Everyone laughed.

" Because they just bottomed out!"

Then he asked some more questions. "What do you call when the lining of a dress gets tangled?"
Nobody knows so Jonathan answered it and said with a smile "A slip-knot!"

"What kind of shorts do big cats wear?"

Mara: Short pants
Jonathan: No. It's panther pants!

Jonathan: How did the sheep feel about the crazy farmer who took all their wool for underwear?
Mara: Baa Baa hum bug!
Jonathan: They thought it was shear madness!

Jonathan: Knock, knock who's there?
Justin: Owen
Jonathan: Owen who?
Justin: I owen 10 pairs of boxer shorts!

What did the reader think of the boxer shorts jokes?
Justin: They wore him out!

Jonathan, Justin and Mara received loud applause from us. Well, they are funny for the time being. Five minutes later they were quiet. When I looked back everyone's asleep. Jonathan was already snoring and sleeping like a log. While the rest of them sleeping like angels.
