Summary: Jack has the universal cure. A double drabble.

'You're sure there's nothing you can give them?' Jack asked, looking around at his team who were lounging around the hub in various states of glum despair, yet keeping to themselves in their despondence. At least they could all agree on one thing; being sick was the worst thing ever.

'Nothing,' Owen confirmed.

Jack sighed and looked around. There must be something he could do. 'Hey, Ianto,' he called out. 'What kind of cheese do you use to hide a horse?'

'I don't know,' he said. More he didn't care, if truth be told.

'Mascarpone.'

Ianto snorted a small laugh. 'That is a terrible joke. So bad I almost missed the punchline.'

'Well, did you hear about the cheese factory that blew up in France? All that was left was de brie.'

Tosh laughed at that one. Jack even caught Gwen smirking.

Owen rolled his eyes. 'You're pathetic, Harkness.'

'No, I'm cheesy,' he said, grinning as more smiles broke out around the room. 'I've got more where that comes from. I'm the king of bad jokes.'

'Please don't.'

Jack laughed. Owen might not be able to prescribe them anything, but in his opinion laughter was still the best medicine around.

I don't know, but the Marscapone one is always my fallback joke to cheer people up. *thank you Rhod Gilbert* :)
