And here's mine:

"You're all being very patient," Ducky said.

Gibbs shrugged. "Nah, Duck. We're enjoying ourselves. Aren't we?"

"Huh?" DiNozzo said. "Yeah, Ducky. It's great. But when's whatshisname, the teenager you told us about, gonna serve?"

"Bowl, Tony," McGee said. "It's cricket; not tennis."

"Oh, yeah. So when, Ducky?"

"They'll bring Charles Trunk in at the critical moment."

"Didn't know cricket had 'critical moments'," Gibbs muttered.

"Jethro?"

"Nothing, Duck. Just - Ow!" Gibbs rubbed his arm.

"I'm sorry, my dear. But here he is. This is it. Now he needs to -"

"Let's just watch, shall we, Duck?"

One ball was all it took.

Someone needs to explain the rules of cricket to me, too. 🙂
Good use of the words.

This reminds me of:

Theatrical Logic

Theatrical Logic

In is down, down is front

Out is up, up is back

Off is out, on is in

And of course

Left is right and right is left

A drop shouldn't and a

Block and tackle does neither

A prop doesn't and

A cove has no water

Tripping is OK

A running crew rarely gets anywhere

A purchase line buys you nothing

A trap will not catch anything

A gridiron has nothing to do with football

Strike is work (In fact a lot of work)

And a green room, thank god, usually isn't

Now that you're fully versed

in Theatrical terms,

Break a leg.

But not really !

I have briefly seen pickleball played, and it just seems silly.
Kind of like lazy tennis. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I slept most of the night away and didn't get to my story telling. :o
Hugs, Jon

Agreed - it's a very bizarre game.

Thanks for reading!

Here's mine...

“No need to hurry. I’m patient.”

That elicited a critical snort.

“Gee…you seem to be taking a loooong time! Problem?” *grin*

“No.”

“Come on, just give up… please?”

“You’re behaving like a teenager anticipating sex for the first time.”

“Excuse me?” Napoleon felt himself redden.

Illya ignored him, continuing to bundle the notes and samples from the Thrush lab (destined for annihilation) into the specially-designed trunk.

Mark popped in. “How soon?”

“Now.” Locking the lid, smirking. “You lost, Napoleon.”

Two hulking agents took the trunk.

After safely viewing the glorious explosion, Napoleon (having lost the bet) was served fried crickets…

[duckys_lady]

Poor Napoleon!

Fun story! :-)
