Father's Day

It's Father's Day, a beautiful day, except now that The Great Chiefnik has changed addresses The Great Plotnik has no one to call to wish Happy Father's Day. The phone rings. It's The Great BeeziWeezi. She's on the coast of Springsteenia. The sand is white and the water is warm. "Happy Father's Day!" she says. Plotnik smiles.

The phone rings. It's Mummy Plotnik. She's about to head down to brother Schmekl's home to eat pancakes. "Happy Father's Day," she says. Plotnik smiles again.

The Great Plotnik decides to call The Great PunkyDunky, but the only phone number Plotnik has is PunkyDunky's cell phone far across the Eastern Sea. So Plotkin buys a Calling Card, Ha Ha. The access numbers require further information, Ho Ho. He needs an Exit Code, Hee Hee, an Entrance Code, Hah Hah, a City Code, Hnuk Hnuk, and a Cell Phone Code, Harty Har Har Har. He also needs a 10-digit pin number, Hmmff Har Hee and a 10-digit calling card Access Number, Hooo Hnggk Hmff Chuckle Har FREAKING Har Hmff Grnnkle.

But he gets through! "Happy Fa..." shouts The Great PunkyDunky. Satellite delay makes the conversation difficult. "You go," says PunkyDunky. "You go," says Plotnik, and a few seconds later he hears "...thers Day!" The Great Plotnik smiles again, and he's still smiling now.
