Rule #16: Never let your crime scene fall into the hands of anyone else—they will only sell tickets and contaminate it.

If you were hoping for a description, see any given crime scene, then add a ticket-selling clown with acute xenophilia.

Tony: AAH! THE HORROR!

Rule #17: Never buy pink ribbon for your crime scene. It may be cute, but it's also highly useful for strangling.

EDIT: THIS SCENE REMOVED FOR EXCESSIVE GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION INVOLVING A PINK RIBBON, ZIVA, AND AN AIR HEADED OVERLY PERKY CHEERLEADER-TYPE. DON'T EVEN ASK.

Rule #18: It's better to seek permission than ask forgiveness if you're thinking about Abby's comestibles.

Abby: YOU stole the cookies from my cookie jar. My superglue will get you. Then I will kill you in completely untraceable ways, or I will get Gibbs to take you apart into little tiny pieces, which I mill then seal into evidence bags that will subsequently be destroyed. Unless, of course, you happen to have replacements.

Rule #19: Do not lie to Ziva. Or Gibbs. Or Abby. There is no lie strong enough to withstand them.

*whimper*

Rule #20: Don't Gibbs-slap Gibbs. Ever.

In a moment of light-hearted fun, Tony is aiming for the back of McGee's head, narrowly misses, and hit Gibbs instead.

THREE MONTHS LATER:

Desolation and despair cover the earth and usher in the end of time.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I am opening this series up to others. If you wish to contribute a scenario, either send it to me and I will publish it with its accompanying rule, or I will send you a rule and you can write a scenario to fit it. Either way, you will be given credit.

Thank you.
