Ok, I'll take a stab at creating a groaner.

Which bit of TF technology owned by one of the Archangels was clearly malfunctioning?

Langhorne's watch

For those who didn't groan and said "huh?" Safehold's days are 26 hours and 31 minutes long, and anyone awake at midnight when the extra 31 minutes (Known as Langhorne's watch) occur are supposed to be spend that time in silent meditation and contemplation of all God had done for him, by Langhorne's intervention, in the day just past.

Much funnier than my "joke" was Merlin's reaction to the concept:

"Somehow, Merlin had never gotten around to spending the Watch on just that purpose..."

"Oh bother", said Pooh as he glanced through the airlock window at the helmet he'd forgotten to wear.
