"I tell you Chief, it doesn't make any sense" Penfold insisted as DM made his way over to the bathroom.
"Look Penfold, does it really matter? You should be more concerned that even after a hiatus of several months and a DVD out, the Colonel still hasn't find the time to go back over previous missions to learn your blasted name" DM replied, and quickly entered the room.
Penfold leaned back on the door, his arms crossed, he proceeded to pout. He heard the faint trickle of water from inside as DM turned the taps on.
A sharp yell caused Penfold to worry. He lightly tapped on the door.
"Erm, Chief, is anything the matter?" he said.
"Confounded thing..." DM shouted.
"Confounded what?" Penfold asked
"Someone's replaced my electric toothbrush with a Beelectric toothbrush" DM replied, "I put it in to rinse my pearly white wonders and it stung me as soon as it connected to my wisdom tooth"
"Well that's most unwise of you Chief" Penfold joked.
"Not the most appropriate time for jest Penfold" DM replied.
"But...but how can that bee?" Penfold said, trying not to chortle at another ill-timed joke.
"What do you mean? And could you not be so mean about it?"
"That little cur Kong never invented time travel, how could he have still have invented that
"He was only struck by the inspiration to time travel; I doubt his inventive mind had an off switch for everything. He probably put a lot of Stock Aitkin and Waterman into developing this project on the side, got funded, and developed the product for commercial use"
"Do you think he got some backers from dragon's den?" Penfold asked.
"I'd like to stick him in a lion's den" DM replied, opening the door and showing Penfold the blister that had formerly been the gum lined around his wisdom tooth
"Oh that's nasty stuff there Chief...let me take a look at that toothbrush" Penfold said, DM handed it over. Penfold checked the back of the yellow and black striped appliance and found, etched into the rubber, an image of a monkey perched on a surfboard with a team of gorillas standing on his shoulders.
"This product supported in full by the karma future house" Penfold replied.
"Just as I figured...crowd-surfing" DM added.
"At least he got some success out of things, and made peace with those bullying him...still doesn't explain why you wound up with one here though"
"If I recall, we recently recruited a gorilla agent...he must have belonged to that campus faction, remembered I had spent two years deceiving everyone there with my disguise as captain of the football team, and swapped my regular electric toothbrush with a beelectric version" DM theorized.
"A typical revenge plotline...see how much more sense that makes? How straight-forward it is? What I would give for more episodes like that" Penfold mused.
"Sometimes Penfold, what you want isn't exactly what we all exactly need" DM said as his gums continued to hurt.
