When Gunny's Bored

Gunny got out a pencil and a penny. He rubbed the edges of the penny with the pencil so that there was a bit of the led on the rim. Then, just as he had suspected, Spader came around the corner.

"Hey Spader! I bet that you can't role this penny all the way down your face." Gunny laughed at him, holding the penny with two fingers so his master plan wouldn't be ruined.

"Well, I bet you're wrong. Give me the penny and I'll prove it to you." So Gunny gave him the penny and Spader preceded to role it all the way down his face. When he was finished, he had a gray line down the middle of his face.

"I told you." Spader laughed triumphantly and started to do his victory dance,

"Ya I guess I underestimated you." Gunny said trying hard to keep a straight face.

Gunny closed the door, but not all the way. On the ledge on the top of the door, he put a bucket full of water. Within a minute, he could hear Spader whistling. When Spader opened the door, the bucket of water fell on him, and he was soaked. Gunny burst out laughing, again.

Gunny tied a rope to the banister. There was now a rope two centimeters above the floor, but unless you were looking, you wouldn't be able to see it. Spader came down the hall way.

Spader didn't see the rope, and his foot got caught in it and he fell flat on his face. Spader could have sworn he heard a chuckle come from behind the door on his left

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gunny and Spader were talking. All of a sudden, Gunny pointed behind Spader and, with a look of terror on his face, yelled, "Saint Dane!"

Spader quickly turned around to see… nothing. Gunny snickered while saying "Monkey see Monkey do."

Gunny was now on top of the roof. He was right over a doorway. He had filled up a balloon with water. Spader came through the door. Gunny dropped the balloon on his head. Spader looked up to see Gunny almost falling off the ledge with laughter.

"You really need a hobby, mate, " Spader staded while looking up at the older Traveler, " If you keep this up you'll be in a mighty fine tum-tigger."

"Well, there's nothing to do while we're stuck on Eelong."
