A/N: Nothing really to say except… EXAMS SUCK! And uh… I just went through backstage work at a musical with a buncha dirty minded people so there's gonna be some sexual innuendos in here.
Ah… another day at JAG Headquarters. Harm thought as he passed through the doors and into the busy central network of the HQ or otherwise known as the 'bullpen'. Looking towards his partner's office, he smirked and made a note to visit her after he put down his stuff. There wasn't really any new cases, strange cases, or any investigations for that matter so far this week. But then again, it was only…. Tuesday, any cases can pop up at anytime now and Harmon Rabb Jr. expected it to. Or Webb could show up. He shuddered at the thought.
He quickly placed down his stuff, said a couple of quick 'Good mornings' and went into the office of Sarah Mackenzie, Lt. Colonel, USMC, Navy JAG corp.
"Uh… Just put it down on the 'in' pile, Harriet. Thanks." Mac said not looking up from her paperwork. The she felt something rough and wet on her right cheek. The marine looked to her side and saw him. "Good morning, Commander. Sleep well? Oh, and you're late again."
"And who's fault would that be?" Harm stood up and looked at her mockingly.
"Hey, you're the one who wanted to sleep in. I tried to get your ass outta that bed."
"It's not my fault that I only slept about an hour." He smiled at her. The tough marine's cheeks were slowly turning red. She knew exactly what he was talking about.
"What exactly did you want?" she inquired
"Well… to say good morning and that you have that lunch date you owe me from a while back."
"Sure. But no rabbit food."
Laughing, Harm left her office.

"Admiral, the Commander and the Colonel are here to see you sir."
"Send them in Tiner."
"People, have a seat."
The admiral handed each of them a folder containing their cases. "This morning, I got a call regarding a petty officer who had been charged with conduct unbecoming. You'll handle that Colonel." The admiral then turned to Rabb. "You, commander, will acting JAG while I'm gone on my holiday. This right here will be your workload. I expect it to be done by the time I get back. Is that understood?"
Rabb looked at the Mount Everest sized files on the top corners of the admiral's desk. He definitely has his work cut out for him.
"Aye aye sir."
"Good. Dismissed."

Bethesda Hospital
"Excuse me. I'm looking for a P.O. 3rd Class Jeff Hartman. I was told that he had been admitted to Bethesda." Mac spoke to the nurse who pointed her to room 346 and left with a giggle. The file had spoke little about the petty officer and his crimes, so she decided to check him out before he left the hospital.
She opened the door to find a young man with a clipboard and lab coat and another man, presumably PO Hartman lying on a hospital bed. "How is he doctor?"
"Ah, Colonel Mackenzie I presume." He looked at her and back to his chart. "The petty officer suffered a… groin strain. He'll be out by the hour. We just needed to check for… other… injuries."
"If I may speak to my client sir."
"Of course. I'll leave you two alone." The doctor then clipped the clipboard back and left the room not before bursting out in laughter.
"Ooooooookay. So petty officer. Are you going to explain what happened?"
"It was a… dare… ma'am."
"A dare?" Mac cocked an eyebrow.
"Yes ma'am. The guys were taunting me about my ability to perform."
"Perform? Hartman, if you could not perform, the Navy would NOT have accepted you in the fi—
"Not that kind of perform ma'am." Hartman gestured his head towards the lower part of his body.
"Oh. I see." She said sighing, "Please continue."
"There was this Jacuzzi ma'am. At the hotel… Sorry ma'am it gets embarrassing from this point on."
"The way I look at it Hartman, you've already embarrassed yourself. But I'm the one you need to be telling this to. I'm your lawyer."
"Yes ma'am. Of course." The petty officer's face grew redder and swallowed the lump in his throat. "I uh… stuck it in ma'am."
"Excuse me?"
"Uh… Stuck it" he gestured again towards the lower part of his body, "into the uh… jet hole ma'am."
Mac was trying hard not to laugh and she now fully understood why the staff was chuckling on this man's behalf.
"Then what…" She swallowed a laugh, "then what happened petty officer?"
"I uh… got stuck ma'am. I couldn't get … uh… it back out."
(A/N: True story, I saw it on Discovery Channel on day when I was flippin' through the channels.)
"Well… uh… Petty officer, I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you ma'am"
Mac gathered her things together and looked back at the petty officer. Like the doctor that treated him, she threw back her head and laughed when she closed the door.

JAG Headquarters
"Hey, ready for lunch?" Harm walked into Mac's office to see her resisting the urge to laugh while trying to finish the paperwork for her case. Then she looked up at Harm and couldn't stand it anymore a laughed out loud.
His eyes widened at the site and quickly grabbed the paperwork that she was working on to take a look at. "He got it stuck in a jet hole in a Jacuzzi."
"Yeah… oh my god." Mac took in a large breath then bursting into laughter once again. "Only thing hurt was it, his large male ego and his pride."
"He stuck it in a jet hole in a Jacuzzi." Harm was still wrestling with the idea of that happening.
Bud was passing by when he saw the Colonel hunched over, pounding her fist on the desk while laughing hysterically. The commander was looking at the same file over and over again in disbelief. Curious, he entered the room.
"Sir, ma'am. Are you both alright?" he asked
"Yeah Bud… just… great." Mac said in fits of laughter.
Harm simply handed him the file folder containing the specifics of the incident. "Uh… sir?"
"It's alright Bud. The colonel and I are going out for lunch." The Commander said "And Bud?"
"Yes sir?"
"Get that report you were working on, on my desk asap."
"Aye aye sir."
A/N: well… it's been running through my head since the day I flipped to that Discovery Channel. Sorry if you don't understand the jokes and you find them offensive. I'd appreciate a review. This is Chapter 1.
