Oh, So That's How:

Dr. Scratchansniff hung up the phone, having tried to call the lab for the seventh time. For some reason, no one was answering. He opened the file containing the information he had in preparation for the tests, and immediately gave a frustrated sigh. There, right on top, dated August 5, 2004, was a letter from the lab that the test tubes had somehow been mixed up with human blood. "Someone must have received this letter and put it in here without telling me, thinking I would look at this file soon," he said to himself. "Why didn't they just tell me?" He then called to the other room. "Nurse? Come here for a moment."

"Yes, doctor?" she said as she entered. (((A/N: I don't need to describe Hello Nurse, you should know what she looks like and I would get carried away. Helloooo, Nurse!…Ahem, back to the story.)))

"Why did you not tell me about this?" Dr. Scratchansniff inquired.

After a brief pause to see what it was, she responded. "I put a note on your desk telling you about this. But now that I think about it, the Warners came in later in the day, in fact right after you got back from lunch, so it must have been knocked over."

"And how do you remember that they were here at that time on that day?" asked the doctor.

The Nurse took this as an insult to her intelligence: why would she not remember, with her high I.Q.? So she responded with only a shrug, turned, and walked out of the room, leaving the doc befuddled. (((A/N: Not often you hear that word, eh?)))

The Warners were still playing Tony Stewart's NASCAR Racing™. Yakko, playing as Ryan Newman, continued to lead while Dot, playing as Jeff Gordon, struggled in 27th position. Wakko, playing as Rusty Wallace, had accidentally bumped Tony Stewart, and Tony had spun him out and was now in a fistfight on the back straightaway with him. Since cartoon physics apply to cartoons playing video games as well, Wakko was able to get Rusty to pull out a large wooden mallet (Mallet O' Justice™) to clobber Tony with, who was then clobbered by Yakko-as-Ryan Newman at 200 mph for good measure. The phone rang, and Yakko paused the game in the middle of trying to figure out which button operated the windshield wipers to clear his view of Tony Stewart's face. Wakko and Dot raced to the other two phone extensions to listen in. Yakko waited a second before picking up the receiver to ensure they were ready to listen in.

"Bachman-Turner Overdrive?" said Yakko, knowing it was Scratchy and wanting to keep up the 70's Canadian band gag Scratchy had (possibly accidentally) started. Since Scratchy hesitated due to this comment, he tried again: "Rush?"

"I have found out that the samples have been lost," said the doctor, simply ignoring Yakko's second greeting. "I want you all to come back in to re-do the tests. We should do it right now."

"Do we have to?" said Dot. "I heard that Mel Gibson was going to be at the Snooty Fox restaurant today, and I wanted to see him!"

"And there's a Don Knotts marathon on TV!" said Wakko.

Yakko became the voice of reason. "Sibs, need I remind you that the studio pays our bills? If they ask a favor, we should observe it, at least once in a while. Besides, Dot, I know where Mel is filming tomorrow, and Wakko, I already set the VCR to record that Don Knotts marathon."

"So you will be here in fifteen minutes?" said Dr. Scratchansniff.

"Is the nurse in?" asked Yakko.

"Yes," said Scratchy.

"Make it three minutes," said Yakko.

The Warners grabbed their pogo sticks and parachutes and out the door they went.
