indeedsir_backupRules:
1) A drabble is, by definition, a 100-word story therefore all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) You may also choose to respond to this challenge with a five-minute sketch.
3) PLEASE put the word DRABBLE at the top of your post. That way people can easily spot the drabbles in amongst any reader comments they receive.
RATING: I don't think this should be limited so reader beware that they could be any rating (you could put it in the subject line if you feel it needs it)

PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible. Thanks.
delay
confusion
worry
whistle
hamster
Apologies in advance - things might not happen exactly when they should for the next few weeks. I am working at a summer camp and it is chaos! But it should calm down after a while. If I am really struggling is there anyone who might be willing to take over for a week or two? I know it isn't much to do but I don't want to forget it as it as been working so well:)
I would apologise for the random words but it's late and setting up site has been so very stressful today - this is the best I could do!
Once again Can anyone tag this for me? Won't let me do it on the phone :(

“I apologize, sir. There was some confusion in the kitchen.”
“This tea is terrible.”
“It appears very worrying, sir.”
“What is that sound?”
“That distant whistle? I believe it is a locomotive, sir.”
“A locomotive? Dashed dirty and inefficient. Are those hamsters?”
“They appear to be examples of the genus Cynomys, commonly called the ‘prairie dog,’ or ‘gopher,’ sir.”
“Ah. Can we snuggle tonight? It’s been days.”
“I fear it would be most unsafe here, sir.”
“Have we got tickets for that train?”
“Yes, sir. We will be in Chicago tomorrow or the next day.”
“Thank-you, Jeeves.”

Date: 2012-06-30 05:29 pm (UTC)I hadn’t dared to even glance at Jeeves all evening. It was only when we shut the bedroom door did we look at each other and promptly fell about laughing like two schoolboys. When I came back to myself we were lying on the bed, still giggling.
“Honestly?”I gasped, holding my aching stomach. “Aunt Agatha thinks I should marry her?”
“I’m sure Miss Trusset has some good qualities, Bertie.”
“Such as?”
“Well,” he deadpanned, “I am given to understand that certain members of the rodent family can store sustenance in their cheeks-”
We were incoherent with mirth for some time.
P.S I love these weekly drabble challenges, you are a diamond in the whatsit, momentarylapse!

Drabble: Reproductive Behaviour
Explicit
“Jeeves, what is going on here?”
“Mesocricetus auratus, sir. Or the Syrian hamster. Mr. Fink-Nottle brought them for safe-keeping. They are part of a study on reproductive behaviour.”
“Ey?”
“The male is attempting mounting behaviour, defined as the male assuming a copulatory position but failing to insert his penis into the female’s vagina.
Mounting is often followed by intromission, characterised by the penis entering the vagina and associated with pelvic thrusts.”
“Good Lord.”
“Intromission is than followed by ejaculation, sir. The forceful expulsion of semen from-“
“Jeeves, when will Gussie be back?”
“Tomorrow morning, sir.”
“Bedroom. Now”
“Very good, sir.”

Date: 2012-07-04 09:35 pm (UTC)The two hour delay between the accident and the doctor’s arrival troubled Jeeves as the stern old gentleman finally examined Bertie.
Eventually, Dr. Llewellyn re-packed his medical bag. “Doesn’t seem to be more than the usual confusion now.” The young master answering questions clearly enough hadn’t eased Jeeves’ sombre expression of worry.
“See, Jeeves? Oojah-cum-spiff! Just a little bump to the coconut,” Bertie chirped reassuringly.
“Sir, you asked me to whistle to distract the hamsters singing in your head,” Jeeves replied dryly.
Dr. Llewellyn’s dour face convulsed with suppressed humour, then he intoned, “I prescribe three days’ bedrest, Mr. Wooster.”

Date: 2012-07-05 08:43 am (UTC)I'm not very good with the usual writing style of Jeeves so you guys get modern!AU science teacher Jeeves and high school student Bertie. I'm so sorry for this mess. The hardest part of a drabble is always getting exactly 100 words. XD
"Is there a problem, Mr. Wooster?"
Bertram Wilberforce Wooster was a man. Quite a man.
Though even the greatest man would fall prey to the pungent fumes rising from the preserved hamster.
Bertie whistled through his teeth in an attempt to regain his head as his teacher observed in thinly veiled worry. At least until the "man" fainted. His fellow peers in the Drone's School for Young Gentleman watched in confusion as their favorite teacher Mr. Jeeves swept young Bertie off of his feet and shimmered from the room with only a brief, "Class will continue after a momentary delay."
