A weary Ranhpa dragged herself into the Angel Base lounge to greet Forte. "What happened to you?" Forte asked.

"I had a successful mission and recovered the Lost Technology," Ranpha said as she plopped down on a sofa. "But I had an awful time trying to return to base."

"Why?" Forte asked.

"Eddies," said Ranpha, "in the space-time continuum."

A silence fell over the room. Ranpha stared expectantly at Forte, who looked away and gazed at the far wall.

"Oh, for goodness' sake!" Ranpha suddenly cried. "Would you just say the punch line already!?"

"Who's Eddie?" asked Forte.
