[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]One of the things I've learned from Kira (and it's taken a while to get it through my thick head) is that anything after the punchline is counterproductive.[/quoteost_uid0]

I agree... but here in FbC, when there are lots of good jokes (in this case, particularly Derek's "summer blockbuster" and the near-mandatory "oh, nothing"), I find myself striving to defy gravity nonetheless.

[quoteost_uid0]I say leave it at "Tofu" and assume the audience is familiar enough with the story that they know he's going to betray them.[/quoteost_uid0]

Not my point. I wasn't trying to get across the plot. I actually thought mine was funnier. I got to shorten yours to two lines, and add in Cypher's, "Well, in [iost_uid0]that[/iost_uid0] case," which I find amusing.[/colorost_uid0]
