The Great Plot Bunny Caper
Part 1 – Is there a writer in the house?
Major Hochstetter pointed at the map he had laid on the top of Klink's desk. "Klink, do you know what this is?" he asked.
"It's a map, Major," Klink replied.
"Very good Klink, there may be hope for you yet. Now what is in the middle of this map?" Hochstetter asked.
Klink peered closely at the map. "It looks like Stalag 13," he said.
"Very good Klink. Now what do you think those little red dots are?" Hochstetter asked.
Schultz looked over from where he was standing. "They look like measles, Major," he said. "They must be German measles."
"is that it Major?" Klink asked. "Is there a measles epidemic in this area?"
Hochstetter looked from Klink to Schultz and back again. "Why do these writers keep putting me in scenes with these fools," he muttered. "Klink, pay attention. Those red dots are Plot Bunnies."
"Plot Bunnies?" Klink echoed.
"Yes, Plot Bunnies," Hochstetter said. "And do you notice anything else peculiar about the map?"
"There seems to be a lot of them," Klink said.
"You know what they say about rabbits, Herr Kommandant," Schultz said.
"Schultz!! Keep quiet!" Klink yelled.
"Klink! Shut up!!" Hochstetter yelled.
The room was quiet before Hostetter spoke again. "You'll notice that there are more Plot Bunnies around this camp than anywhere else in the Internet. Do you know what that means?"
Klink shook his head.
"That means that there are more writers loose in this area than anywhere else," Hochstetter said.
"But sir, my record is clear. I have not had a single writer escape from my camp," Klink said.
"Yes Klink, so you have told me," Hochstetter replied. "Every chance you get, you tell me. It's as if the writers can't think of anything else for you to say."
"Major, I resent that!" Klink protested.
"Good. You were supposed to," Hochstetter replied.
Just then, Colonel Hogan opened the office door and walked in. "Kommandant," he said. Then seeing Major Hochstetter, he said "Oh Hi Major, glad you could join us."
"Klink, what is this man doing here?" Hochstetter asked.
"Major - it seems to me you are always asking me that question," Klink chided. "Now tell me, can't the writers think of something else for you to say?"
"Bah!" yelled the Major.
"And that's another one you are always saying," Klink said smiling.
"Klink, when I get through with this campo, heads will roll!" Hochstetter growled.
"Hey Major, even I've heard you say that one," Hogan chimed in.
"You keep quiet," Hochstetter told Hogan. "You, the most dangerous man in all of Europe."
"Major," Schultz started, "I believe that your line should read 'The most dangerous man in all of Germany', not Europe."
"Fools! Traitors!" Hochstetter yelled. "There's a war on and I'm surrounded by fools and traitors!"
Hogan turned to Schultz and said, "You know, I think I've seen this show before. Do you know what his problem is this time?"
Hochstetter continued his rant.
"I think he has a case of German measles," Schultz said.
"No, I think it's a bad case of the Plot Bunnies," Klink corrected. "He was complaining about them when he came in."
"Plot bunnies?" Hogan asked, perplexed. "Are they contagious?"
Klink shrugged. "I don't know Colonel," Klink replied. "I'm not a writer."
Colonel Hogan turned and looked towards the Internet. "Is there a writer in the house?" he asked.
