A Little Problem

“Toby! You got time to lean, you got time to clean!” Mack bounded forward efficiently. “Robbie! Come over here and help me with this shipment!”

Robbie bumbled and fumbled his way over to the large wooden crate Mack was referring to. Mack rolled his eyes.

Robbie gawked in awe of the enormous crate. “Don’t just stand there! Grab that crow bar and help me crack her open.”

The wood squealed as it peeled off the crate. The lid suddenly exploded off the box. Chimpanzees came hurtling out by the dozens. Pandemonium ensued.

Mack’s cell phone screamed up at him as he hid from the madness. It was Fred, the warehouse supervisor.

“Yeah, Fred!? We may have a little problem.”

Great job, Vincent! Bumbled and Fumbled makes me ache for the start of the NFL season. It made me hear ol' Boomer yelling "Rumbling, Stumbling, Bumbling!" If you're not a fan, I'm referring to Chris "Boomer" Berman on ESPN.
