#because joe 1- amuses himself; and 2- always makes nicky smile and that's what matters

[normal-thoughts-official]

The "faster than the elevator", the "there's always a first time", the Loud Wink™ at the dinner table, the grin in the helicopter, the way he laughed at himself when he said "we killed each other", the "there's your balance, asshole"... you can tell that Joe thinks that he's the funniest motherfucker on Earth. And he is right

#nicky directly enables this by also thinking that joe is the funniest motherfucker on earth #half the time he makes some dumb joke he looks directly at nicky like 'arent i fucking funny' #and every time nicky laughs #as he should cuz joe is hilarious #andy tried every psychological tactic to get him to stop being a clown and it never worked #because joe 1- amuses himself; and 2- always makes nicky smile and that's what matters #also he knows andy and booker need some levity as well #when did these tags become soft. anyway #tog #the old guard #yusuf al kaysani
