My Productive Afternoon (Part Two of a Series of Productive Afternoons)

After Susie had walked the long journey home, Fido decided that there was an open position that needed to be filled immediately.So Fido sent her trusty friend Sprinkles to the parking lot. She gave Sprinkles a sign that said "Help Wanted," a can of bear mace, a shotgun with an attached bull horn, and a package of peanut butter m&m's.

Just as Sprinkles got to the highway, a truck full of earmuffs pulled up to inquire about the help that was needed. When Sprinkles learned that theirs names were all Earmuffs, she immediately determined them unsuitable for the job, because Earmuffs over-populated the world and they were often referred to as white trash, which was something that didn't need to be represented at camp. Earmuffs were also rude and annoying. Which showed when they refused to leave. So Sprinkles pulled out her shotgun and told them to hurry on their way. Sprinkles fired a shot into the air and scared them off.

Sprinkles sat holding her sign for several days and nights, until another car pulled up. This time a bear holding a man hostage wanted to talk to Sprinkles. The bear demanded that Sprinkles to turn over her peanut butter m&m's. But peanut butter m&m's are valuable. So she refused to met the bears demands. She distracted the bear momentarily by sounding off the bull horn (Which meant for camp to contact the forest service,) and then sprayed him in the face with some handy dandy bear mace. He passed out because of the pain. Sprinkles and the hostage ( who she later discovered was named Beets) moved the bear into the trunk of the car while they waited for forest service to arrive. Sprinkles and Beets sat on a rock waiting for the forest service. They shared the bag of m&m's. They talked about Beets' desire to fill the open camp job. Once the forest service came, Beets and Sprinkles decided to go talk to Fido about the job. Fido decided that Beets was a great hire, but she still wanted to get a second person.

Fido needed to recruit, but it was inventory day for Sprinkles, so she couldn't go to the highway. So Fido decided to go by herself, but Sprinkles wanted her to be prepared. So she sent Fido to the highway with the "Help Wanted" sign, some stale Swedish fish, a billy club, deer urine, and a fishing lure.

When Fido got to the parking lot, she decided that recruiting by the highway was the most ridiculous way to recruit. So Fido hiked back up to camp and ended part two of My Productive Day.
