The Sequel
Chapter 15 -- The Return of the Part-Time Stapling Machine Joke, a Walking Slinky, Munchkin Massacres and Other Perfectly Normal Phenomena
Disclaimer: Not mine.
In the last chapter the character noticed that the sky depicted paintings by Andy Warhol.
Eugene: Sarah, can I ask you something?
Sarah: Sure.
Eugene: Are you a part-time stapling machine?
Sarah: Yes. I was going to quit, but Frizz talked me out of it.
Dr. Crusher: How?
Frizz: I told her it's a great joke.
Just then, a walking slinky walked past them.
Fred: Ooo! A walking slinky!
Worf: Strange. I've only seen them walk down stairs.
Capt. Picard: Let's follow it!
They followed the slinky. It lead them too a pile of squished munchkins (the inside of a donut, not the people that populate Oz)
Frizz: It's a munchkin massacre!
Data: - For completely unknown reasons, starts laughing like a mad man-
Capt. Picard: Data, why are you laughing?
Data: A munchkin massacre! HA!
Walking Slinky: -Explodes-
Eugene: The slinky exploded!
Fred: Cool!
Eugene: I really liked that slinky!
Dr. Crusher: Oh! Don't be so sentimental! Things explode every day!
Eugene: I suppose you're right.
Worf: Funny, how something can just… explode like that.
This is where Worf was wrong. Exploding is a perfectly normal phenomenon.
Data: It is also strange that the sky can depict painting by Andy Warhol.
This is where Data was wrong. The sky depicting paintings by pop artists is a perfectly normal phenomenon.
Capt. Picard: It's also very odd that a person can be a stapling machine.
Frizz: Or that a joke about a stapling machine can go on for so long.
This is where Frizz and Capt. Picard where right. Finally! This was starting to annoy me. This whole joke about where people where wrong and that things that are defiantly not perfectly normal phenomena are perfectly normal phenomena and it's a wonder I was able to spell "phenomena" on the first try, I mean …
Fred: SHUT UP!
Okay.
A few interesting facts: This chapter has the longest title of all chapters in Strange Happenings and The Sequel, the Part-Time Stapling Machine joke is the longest running joke in both fics, flying moose are a perfectly normal phenomena and reviewing now is a good idea.
