A/N: I realized that's it's been over a year since I last updated this story. I wasn't sure if I was going to continue this, but with all of the crazy things that go on at the station I listen to, how could I not? Anyway, here is the long-awaited new chapter of Radio Randomness :)
The Conversation:
The conversation involved bad knock knock jokes. Eventually, one was told that caused one of the DJ's to spit out the coffee he was drinking on himself.

Knock Knock!
Teresa Lisbon was in a bad mood. The reason? Why, Patrick Jane of course. The consultant had managed to aggravate a good deal of people in their current case, all of whom decided to take out their annoyance on Lisbon. And it wasn't even lunchtime yet; plenty of time for Jane to get in even more trouble…
…Jane stared at Lisbon's buttoned up office from the safety of his couch and frowned. Lisbon was mad with him. Sure, she had every right to be, but he didn't want her to stay mad at him. So, Jane whipped up a fresh, steaming cup of coffee-a peace offering-and made his way toward Lisbon's office.
"Knock knock!" Jane said cheerily as he pushed the door open and strolled into Lisbon's office.
"Go away." Lisbon replied without taking her eyes off of the paperwork on her desk.
"You're supposed to say who's there! You don't get how this works, do you?" Jane corrected her. "Oh, and I brought you a present."
Jane placed the cup of coffee on Lisbon's desk and looked at her expectantly. Lisbon's eyes drifted toward the cup of coffee. After a moment or two, Lisbon finally grabbed the Styrofoam cup and began drinking the coffee inside. Jane smiled.
"Stop smiling." Lisbon pouted. "I'm still mad at you."
"I figured you still would be." Jane said. "But never fear, Lisbon dear, I have a great plan to cheer you up."
Lisbon leaned back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest, signaling to Jane that she was ready for his attempt.
"Okay, ready?" Jane began happily. "Knock knock."
"A knock knock joke?" Lisbon questioned. "Really? That's your plan?"
"Just play along, woman."
Lisbon rolled her eyes in response.
"Fine." She said. "Who's there?"
"Doris."
"Doris who?"
"Doris is locked, that's why I'm knocking!"
Lisbon just stared at Jane as he stood smiling at her. If there were crickets in the building, they would be chirping right now.
"Alright, let's try another one," Jane continued, undeterred by Lisbon's lack of laughter. "How about this? Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Aaron."
"Aaron who?"
"Aaron on the side of caution!"
"If only you did that earlier," Lisbon retorted.
"These are the jokes, woman." Jane responded to Lisbon's comment. "Fine. I have one more. Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Interrupting cow."
"Interrupting cow-"
Jane shouted "moo" before Lisbon could finish her response. He shouted it so loudly, in fact, that Lisbon jumped in surprise and spilled coffee on herself and her desk.
"Jane!" She shrieked.
"Did you forget about this morning?" Jane asked her.
"Yes because I'm covered in coffee!"
"Well, then my plan worked!" Jane said triumphantly. "Bye!"
Jane then left Lisbon's office as quickly as he entered. Lisbon just shook her head, annoyed. She just couldn't fight the smile that crept on to her lips…
I hope you enjoyed the new chapter. I have roughly three more ideas that I could do, but I'm not sure if I'm going to continue beyond that. Let me know what you think!
