The Tie proposes to the Pontianak

Following on from ttwins' excellent post about pontianaks, here we have IL proposing to JL, at Pizza Hut no less. We planned to give JL flowers for her farewell. It was IL's suggestion to propose to her...the Captain suspects that years of working together and sharing the same telephone line have breeded in him a deep crush for her. And we all know that some jokes are a way of conveying a serious message without the implications or consequences thereof. "I'm only joking!", some people might say, after they have said something spectacularly disgusting/outrageous/insulting or confessed their crush/love for somebody.

As for JL's answer, she said "No, but can I keep the flowers? And you forgot the diamond ring!"
