Back To "Normal" Duty

I was in Senator Aak Ask’s office on ceremonial guard duty, when his chief of staff, Rak Riice, came in for a meeting.

Aak Ask: Rak Riice! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Rak Riice: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of
Hapes.
Aak Ask: Great. Lay it on me.
Rak Riice:
Hu is the new leader of Hapes.
Aak Ask: That's what I want to know.
Rak Riice:
That's what I'm telling you.
Aak Ask: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of Hapes?
Rak Riice:
Yes.
Aak Ask:
I mean the fellow's name.
Rak Riice:
Hu.
Aak Ask: The guy in Hapes.
Rak Riice: Hu.
Aak Ask: The new leader of Hapes.
Rak Riice:
Hu.
Aak Ask: The Hapesman!
Rak Riice:
Hu is leading Hapes.
Aak Ask: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Rak Riice:
I'm telling you Hu is leading Hapes.
Aak Ask:
Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading Hapes?
Rak Riice: That's the man's name.
Aak Ask:
That's who's name?
Rak Riice:
Yes.
Aak Ask: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of Hapes?
Rak Riice: Yes, sir.
Aak Ask: Yassir? Yassir The Hutt is in Hapes? I thought he was from the
Nal Hutta.
Rak Riice: That's correct.

Aak
RAK RIICE: EXACERBATED


Aak Ask: Then who is in Hapes?
Rak Riice:
Yes, sir.
Aak Ask: Yassir is in Hapes?
Rak Riice:
No, sir.
Aak Ask:
Then who is?
Rak Riice:
Yes, sir.
Aak Ask:
Yassir?
Rak Riice: No, sir.
Aak Ask:
Look, Rak Riice. I need to know the name of the new leader of Hapes. Get me the Secretary General of the Senate on the phone.
Rak Riice:
Kofi?
Aak Ask:
No, thanks.
Rak Riice:
You want Kofi?
Aak Ask: No.
Rak Riice:
You don't want Kofi.
Aak Ask:
No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the Senate.
Rak Riice:
Yes, sir.
Aak Ask: Not Yassir! The guy at the Senate.
Rak Riice:
Kofi?
Aak Ask:
Milk! Will you please make the call?
Rak Riice:
And call who?
Aak Ask:
Who is the guy at the Senate?
Rak Riice: Hu is the guy in Hapes.
Aak Ask: Will you stay out of Hapes?!
Rak Riice: Yes, sir.
Aak Ask:
And stay out of the Nal Hutta! Just get me the guy at the Senate.
Rak Riice:
Kofi.
Aak Ask:
All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the comlink.
(Rak Riice picks up the comlink.)
Rak Riice:
Riice, here.
Aak Ask: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in Hapes. And the Nal Hutta. Can you get Hapes food in the Nal Hutta?

Now my head hurts. And we wonder why the Republic is faltering.

Maybe we could stick those egg roles in Aak Ask's mouth and he'll be quiet for a little while.

Happy Friday from Michele's. Loved the Abbott and Costella rip-off. Good job. I'll have to check out the rest of your site now (and just when I was trying to get my bloghopping under control. Is there a 12-step program from blogaholics????)

Dino aka Katy: I have enjoyed you humorous comments over on Jins site also. The best man at my wedding was named Dino

Judy: I think there is, but when you get to the 5th step you have to apologize for all the bad bloging you have done. And I don’t have enough time in my day for that :)

I saw a similar rant once in a music magazine on the guess who & the who, very funny!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

Maybe you guys should convince the republic to give free Communication Lessons to everyone.
Kofi with cream and two sugars?
Maybe Northstar and him can hook up sometime.
