Our story begins when Jack answers his doorbell to find Jim Bob, luggage in hand, standing in the doorway. Jim Bob explains, as only Jim Bob can, that his house is being fumigated due to an infestation of "Formica Termites", hmmm, or is that "Formosa Termites." With there being a big conference in town and all the hotel rooms taken, Jim Bob is in need of a place to crash for a few days. Jack is more than happy, well initially anyway, to accommodate his work partner and long time friend.
As the minutes, turn into (long) hours, Jim Bob wears on Jack's nerves with his constant bickering about Jack not having a television. After all, as Jack says there are more important things to do and television is for people without vision. What?? So he introduces Jim Bob to the calming art of Booze Zindism. Everything is going great guns until Jim Bob learns that he is two laps ahead of the field. Well, you'll have to read the play to appreciate that one.
Heather Barnett, Jack's neighbor, is sweet on Jack and badly misinterprets when Jack introduces Jim Bob as his partner. Work partner, that's work partner!! To make matters worse Heather's jealousy gets aroused when Shana Wilson, an Interior Decorator is hired to spruce up the place. Add to this already volatile mix, Harriet "Harri" Callahan and Kathy Gordon, who also work with Jack and Jim Bob and you have the ingredients for mischief and fun.
Our fun loving heroes then launch into a full scale assault on their "Public Enemy Number One", their beloved Captain. You won't believe some of the things these guys dream up. If you do believe them, perhaps you need psychiatric help.
Finally, after two very long days, and much to Jack's delight, Jim Bob receives a telephone call that his house is ready to be inhabited again. As Jim Bob is departing Jack's telephone rings again and he receives a report on his termite inspection. Uh oh.
Oh, one last question. How did those Formosa Termites get over here anyhow, did they have little bitty boats? |
