[ in the background, there's the sounds of nature. rustling leaves, rushing water, chirping birds... and then there's a quiet chuckle from the owner of the journal. ]

This is quite the place. I've seen a lot in my time, but nothing like this. And that guide is handy! [ there's another small laugh ] Very thorough in its explaining this place. My thanks to its maintainer.

[ shanks pauses and there's the sounds of splashing. he's kicking his feet in the river. ]

If this place gets new arrivals in cycles, I imagine you get a number of these "I'm new here," journal entries. Aaah, well, that won't do. Let's spice things up and give you something more interesting than that!

Stop me if you've heard this one before... A Marine officer falls overboard during a battle with some pirates. He's a Devil Fruit user, so he can't swim and has to be rescued by a deckhand. When he's back aboard his ship, he thanks the deckhand and asks how he can best repay his underling for saving his life. The deckhand looks sheepish as he replies. "I think the best reward would be keeping it a secret, sir," he says, "If the other fellows knew I pulled you out, they might push me in!" Dahahahaha!

[dogboy]

Yeah, and good luck finding a joke that's actually funny.

[voice]

[tibias]

Have you heard the one about the corduroy pillows?

[voice]

[dogboy]

What's a cordy pillow?

[voice]

[tibias]

It's a pillow made out of corduroy—a thick fabric with lots of ridges in it.

[voice]

[dogboy]

Sounds comfy. What's the joke?

[voice] i apologize for how awful this joke is

[tibias]

Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're really making headlines.

[voice] completely accepted

[dogboy]

[he doesn't understand

look at this face, shanks.

he

doesn't

understand.]

[voice] (yay)

[tibias]

... Never mind.

[voice]

[dogboy]

Why would a pillow make headlines?

[voice]

[tibias]

Have you ever slept on a wrinkly sheet and woken up with lines in your skin?

[voice]

[dogboy]

And?

[voice]

[tibias]

If you sleep on corduroy it leaves lines on your face because of the ridges. It was a pun.

[voice]

[dogboy]

[ooooh

wow]

Your jokes suck so much, I'm embarrassed.

[voice]

[tibias]

Kids these days...

[voice]

[dogboy]

Can tell a better joke. Listen to this.

[Okay, okay.]

So there's this guy who's just arrived. He realizes pretty quickly that he's not home anymore and pops onto the network to get to know everything. A while later, the man decides to try and make friends with a joke.

[He pauses.]

The joke's so bad, they only pop in to tell him how much it sucked and leave.

[voice]

[tibias]

Hey, now. That barely qualifies for the term "thinly veiled insult."

[voice]

[dogboy]

[well, he thought it was funny.

heh.]

What do you call a monster?

[voice]

[tibias]

What?

[voice]

[dogboy]

Dead.

[voice]

[tibias]

... You know jokes are supposed to be funny, right?

[voice]

[dogboy]

There's not a lot of jokes to learn in Galpos.

[voice]

[tibias]

Maybe you'll be able to learn some here that you like.

[voice]

[dogboy]

And maybe you'll learn some good ones yourself.

[voice]

[tibias]

Dahaha! Maybe I will!

[voice]

[dogboy]

[he

actually took him seriously ahhhh that doesn't happen often--]

What's your name? That way I know who to look for when you've finally got some better ones.
