Sometimes things aren't as easy as we think,
or even what we think they are.

Rated: G, could be misunderstood as NC-17.
 
Category: Humour, Vignette.
 
Spoilers: Aw come on! None.
 
Archive: Gossamer. Anywhere you wish as long as you ask
me first.
 
 

"This is the third time I've tried, and I can't get it in."
 
"Must you make this thing so hard?"
 
"Well, I'm trying as best as I can. Let's have another
try."
 
"Just don't get any butter on it."
 
"In this case, it just might help. Damn! What the heck
could possibly be in the way?"
 
"Well, I can't really see in there very well. You look."
 
"Okay. I'll get my flashlight. Now. Well, I can't see
anything in there that would stop it from going in. Maybe
if I put a couple of fingers inside I can tell if... No.
Lots of dust."
 
"That's what must be gumming up the works."
 
"Well, let's clean it out, then."
 
"Maybe a paper towel and some cleaner."
 
"Wait! I've got a can of compresssed air... "
 
"No way!  I've been told never to use that! Especially
with this type of thing."
 
"Okay. Some cleaner and water. If that doesn't work,
maybe a little lubrication."
 
"Say WHAT?"
 
"I could use a beer right now."
 
"Why don't we take a look at this again."
 
"Don't just grab it like that!"
 
"Well, I'm sorry.  Hey, here's your problem: See that
little piece of plastic there?
"
"Yeah. The source of all our consternation?"
 
"That'll do it every time. Just yank it out."
 
"Are you sure?"
 
"Yeah. Just do that and everything should work properly."
 
"Okay. Gee.  That was easy. And it's going right in."
 
"About time, too. I couldn't wait any longer, Mulder."
 
"Great color, too."
 
"A lot of work went into that."
 
"I guess we can sit down and relax after all this work."
 
"Well, I'll NEVER do this again without you. The next
time I get something like this, I'll go ballistic if
I can't get my satisfaction. Imagine something like that
causing so much trouble. Could be dangerous to one's
health."
 
"Let's just enjoy the movie before VHS goes out of style,
huh?  Hand over the popcorn. I just love the part where
Toto escapes from the bitchy school teacher's basket."
