More reason the joke is lame “ he swerved the car. “It’s better than any joke you ever told “ I sassed “I tell better jokes than that “he argued “Your jokes are usually scary or just plain weird “ I refused to agree with him “You know you could just say something annoying and I’d ram the car into that tree right there “ he threatened “Relax I’m just kidding …no need to get angry “ I tried to soothe him, tensing a little. The Vitali I use to know was about coming back. “I’m joking. You see? Classical” he chuckled I’d never seen him laugh so much in one day as he’d been doing today. “That’s what I said.
