BENET
Good answer!
And we’ve hardly even started!
At an airport the mandatory fun begins with standing in a queue for one hour, to do something called a check in. When SimpleSimon eventually reached the front of the queue his travel warrant was not accepted by the robot guardian. He offered it three times.
NottaPenny recited the magic incantation, “oh get out of my way,” and the robot guardian accepted her travel warrant first time. SimpleSimon tried again, three more times, and thrice reciting the incantation, “why doesn’t this damn thing work?”
The robot guardian refused to allow another try, and instead electrically summoned Miss ActiveVolcano.
HAYLEY
(Addressing FULLYCHARGED in a whisper.)
That can’t be her real name!
BENET
Miss ActiveVolcano erupted from nowhere and frowned at SimpleSimon.
She snatched the travel warrant from his hand, and just in case the first frown wasn’t strong enough, she did it again, giving him a double plus frown and then saying something about the honesty of men.
Or was it …
“Honestly! Men!”
