"Mac! Thank god you're here!"
Duncan look across the empty bar to the watcher who seemed to be buried in catalogs. "What's the problem Joe?"
"I just can't figure out what to get Methos for Christmas. 5000 year old guys aren't exactly easy to shop for."
"Give him beer."
"I give him beer all the time. A Christmas present should be a bit different."
"Well then, forgive his bar tab."
"You're kidding. Methos' bar tab is bigger than the national debt. I ain't that generous."
"Fine, just get him a jumper."
Joe just stared at the immortal for a few seconds. "What!? Are you crazy? A JUMPER!?"
"Yeah Joe, a jumper. I got him one last year and he liked it just fine"
"What the hell would Methos do with a jumper?"
"What? He wears them all the time."
Joe was getting pissed. "Mac, I asked you here for your advice, but if you're gonna lie to me you can just leave."
Now Duncan was pissed. "Joe, I told you what I thought, but if you're gonna call me a liar, I'm not going to stick around to be insulted."
Joe watched the immortal stalk out of the bar. "A jumper," he mumbled, glaring at Duncan's back. Then he transferred his glare to the mammoth stack of catalogs in front of him.
An hour passed without a revelation.
"What the hell," Joe said, and began digging out a catalog from the pile.
