Why You Don't Tell Theatre Kids Jokes...

You should know, I hate jokes. I don't get them. They don't make sense. Their pointless. I don't laugh at jokes, if I do, they are highly funny. Or I laugh if I just don't get it... its more amusing when they don't make sense to me. Anywho, our friend Yaron decided to tell us a joke. Amanda, Becky and myself were sitting on our comfy couch (nicely named way back in 2004 during Les Mis) and Tiffany was next to us... Katie was eating food, or on stage, or something like that... anywho. Our conversation went something like this-
Yaron- You want to hear a joke?
Kyla- No, not really.
Becky- Yeah, sure whatever.
Yaron- You want to hear a joke?
Becky- YES! Just go.
Yaron- What joke?
Kyla- None.
Becky- I don't care.
Yaron- A horse joke?
Becky- I don't care.
Kyla- Yes, a horse joke, now go.
Yaron- How about the joke about three guys?
Becky- I don't care.
Kyla- Yes a joke about three guys.
Yaron- Well what one?
Becky- The one about three guys... my goodness Yaron.
Yaron- Okay, so there were three guys flying-
Becky- Flying like this *puts arms out like wings*
Amanda- Uhh....
Kyla- Oh gosh Becky...
Yaron- They were flying in airplanes... not like this *does wing thing*
Becky- Ohhhhhhhhh... okay. Keep going.
Yaron- There were three guys, flying-
Becky- In an airplane. Not like this *wing thing*
Yaron- Yes, in an airplane, not like this *wing thing*
(During this Amanda and I continue our coloring, and try to keep our laughter at a minimum.)
Yaron- When the plane crashes on a deserted island...
Becky- I can't hear you talk louder.
Yaron- Three guys were flying...
Becky- Yaron! I can't here you, come here.
Yaron- Three guys were flying
Kyla- Three guys flying...
Yaron- In an airplane
Kyla- In a plane
Becky- I can't hear you!
Yaron- *talks louder* Okay, three guys were flying-
Becky- I already heard that... I don't want to hear it all again.
Yaron- Three guys were flying...
Becky- Ahhh! *half listens*
Yaron- ...in an airplane and they crashed on a deserted island, which was before, well and now inhabited with a cannibal Native American Tribe.
Becky- His name is American Tribe?!
Amanda- Nooooooooo.....
Kyla- Becky, oh gosh...
Yaron- No its AN Native American Tribe
Kyla- A cannibal one.
Yaron- As I was saying, the Indian tribe... well it isn't really right to call them Indians.. I'm not sure that they were Native Americans...
Becky- Yaron, oh my gosh... just keep going.

Then, after this joke, which wasn't funny, was finished, Tiffany kindly re-explained it to me and Becky and the world was all well and good... but the joke still wasn't funny. But Becky was entertaining during the telling of the joke. The joke took almost 20 minutes to tell.
I still hate jokes.

Anywho... tonight is the start of the never ending rehearsals... its not officially tech week. Eck. No one likes tech week. Rehearsals seriously never end, although most directors stop them after midnight... most.

As of a few hours ago, our show, "YEAH!... like yeah..." Became official. The lovely name, which really is, "YEAH!...like yeah..." Came from Becky. After we had our conversation on Cardboard Carmel with Carpel Tunnel, we decided we should be on TV right? Well, when we informed Becky of this she yelled, nicely in my ear, "YEAH!... We should name it... uh..."
Amanda- "A TV show?"
Becky- "YEAH!... like yeah."
Kyla- "Okay... thats a nice name..."
When Katie was told, she pretty much looked at us like we were insane... no screaming involved... of course, we weren't outside anymore so that may be the reason... I can see Jan killing us now for screaming... Jan being the director of course.
I really have a lot more to say. But I always have something to say, so I will save you all from being bored, and I will stop now.
And don't forget, avoid jokes, okay?
