\*_Keapon \*\* \* trundles in with a coffee pot hanging from a metal pole_.

Sorry, I’m late guys. But you see, first the water wouldn’t boil, then I couldn’t find the coffee, and finally, when I thought I had everything, I realized that the enema nozzle was missing.

Naturally, I raided **Hal** ’s locker, but it wasn’t there. All I could find was this used speculum :eek: and I figured, heck, that’ll have to do.

Sorry you had your chance.

Besides we’ve just cleaned up the mess, Mariah has eaten Rex and Sally, Agnes ran for the hills, and we’re missing 3 members and a guest. (Do you know how hard that is to explain to **Lynn**!?)  
I guess you’re stuck as one of the uninitiated…
