Useless.

[startedtheflamewar]

Wow, that seems a little harsh. I mean, they make great pickpockets.

[ He was going to make a dumb joke, but. ]

[bluecircuit]

If I want a pickpocket, I'll find a professional thief. Not a magician who's lost all his skills and is settling for an alternative.

[startedtheflamewar]

But will they have a cape and a jaunty hat?

[bluecircuit]

No, because they would know to be inconspicuous.

[and because it's taken her far too long to ask this...]

Who are you? And why are you asking me stupid questions about magicians?

[startedtheflamewar]

Someone who got a hold of a different person than they were intending to make a bad joke to.

I'd say that's my fault, but it looks like things are still on the fritz.

[bluecircuit]

That was meant to be a joke? Where was the part that was meant to be funny?

[Not that Nebula really understands humor. So even a fantastic joke would be likely to go over her head.]

[startedtheflamewar]

Ah, well, the full joke is:

What do you call a magician that lost his magic?

Ian.

[bluecircuit]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[startedtheflamewar]

You must not have heard many jokes.

[bluecircuit]

I have not. People don't often tell me any.

[Perhaps it's somewhat obvious why.]

And even less often am I told one I find funny.

[startedtheflamewar]

Back home we have comedians who call themselves insult comics. Might be up your alley.

[bluecircuit]

I do like insulting people...

[startedtheflamewar]

Maybe you could pick it up as a side career, then.
