"For optimum performance, sir, we need to lengthen each grade by three centimeters."

"It's a slinky, Carter! Can't you just have fun for once?"

Captain Carter looked surprised. "I am having fun, sir."

O'Neill rolled his eyes. "Okay, fine. So starting from the shelf, it'll go to the stepladder and then..."

Chuckling quietly, Hammond decided to come back another time to discuss improving general morale. There didn't seem to be any need at the moment.
