Thread: The adventures of Bernie and Frank, the Fambaas, and /Concealshot
Bernie and Frank aretwo Fambaas grazing lazily in the midday Nabooian sun, along with the rest of their herd. In the distance, a lone rifleman masks his scent and stealthily moves closer, closer. Because of his great skill, Bernie, Frank, and the rest of the herd never see him move to within 60m, pull out his trusty T21 rifle, and take careful aim. Bernie is squarely in his sites.
Almost imperceptible,the rifleman squeezes off a /concealshot, striking Bernie solidly in the chest, doing significant damage. With a start, Frank looks to his friend, but Bernie just bends down and bites off another mouth full of reeds. Frank, quite shaken, shouts, "What was that!?!." Bernie calmly replies, "What was what?"
Frank says, "Somebody just shot you!" An increduloussmile creeps across Bernie's face. He replies, "Get outta here." Frank's concern deepens. "No really," he says, "You've been shot." The rest of the herd stirs quite nervously and insists Frank is right.
Bernie, just shakes his head, and says, "You are such a kidder." Bendingdown for another mouthful of reeds, he says, "You know, I think the reeds are a little drier this time of year." At any other time, Frank would have laughed becausethat is the same thing Bernie says every yeararound this time.
But Frank, desperately concerned about his friend, shouts to the rest of the herd, "It came from over there. Let's get him." He charges off with the rest of the herd in close pursuit. Everyone except Bernie that is, who just laughs and says, "You guys crack me up."
Another shot issues silently from the rifleman's gun, again striking Bernie and doing more damage. But Bernie only begins to wonder if the reeds would be moister down by the river bank, and starts to head down there to find out.
Soon, the herd reaches the spot where the rifleman is hiding. There is a flurry of activity, and just as suddenly as it all started, the threat is over. Frank and the rest of the herd head back to where Bernie is standing proud of himself for finding reeds that are not only more moist, but also more tender.
Bernie looks at Frank, and says, "You have some goo between your toes," referring to, shall we say, what is left of the former threat. Frank just looks on in amazement.
After an awkwardmoment or two, Bernie, with a puzzled look on his face, says with a bit of chagrin, "Hey, I seem to be injured here. I wonder how that happened?" He looks around a little accusingly and says, "We're a herd here. We are supposed to be looking out for each other, you know." With that, Frankcold-cocks Bernie.
... And the saga continues ....
Funny stuff man 
This ranks right up there with the post by the Ranger. Something like, "Hunting: a true story" or something like that.
