Challenge 331 - What could be weirder?

Title: What could be weirder?
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: G
Challenge: 331 - Worms
Notes: None

Jack just looked at Ianto with a curious expression.

People stood in a field stabbing pitchforks into the ground and shaking them, or belting the ground with shoes, watching as earthworms wriggled up from the ground, and promptly picked up and placed into buckets

'This is just weird,' he declared.

'It's the annual worm charming contest. It's British tradition.'

'It's still weird.'

'Weirder than aliens that lay eggs in you?'

'Yes.'

'Weirder than matchboxes that send you to hell,  weirder than space whales?'

'Yeah.'

'Weirder than weevils doing the can-can?'

'Ye-, wait no, that's weirder.'

Ianto just rolled his eyes.

Lol. I've not heard of a worm charming contest, but it doesn't surprise me! We Brits do have some strange traditions!

I'd love to see can-canning weevils!

Ah, great British traditions! It's a big day for worms and worm-charmers, everyone working hard on their assigned patch. I do wonder if the charmers practice during the year, trying out different methods to see what works best.
