Spooks said, "james and jase leaping in and out of shrubbery... conjure an image?"

All I can think about is the funniest play I've ever seen: Twelfth Night as performed by The Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

There's a scene in Twelfth Night where Toby, Andrew Aguecheek and Fabian hide out in the shrubbery while Malvolio reads the letter they've planted. In the production I saw, one of the bits has Andrew Aguecheek, holding a bouquet of flowers, standing right behind Malvolio. Malvolio senses his presence and whirls around to see if anyone's there. Andrew Aguecheek, to avoid being seen, also whirls around. It works. Trust me when I say that it's very funny on stage.

Of course, I can also see James and Jason jumping out of the shrubbery in front of Lars.

"Fuck," Lars shrieked. He clapped his hand to his chest. "Fuckers," he growled. "What the fuck are you doing in the fucking bushes?"

James glanced around the yard. "I don't see any politicians around," he said innocently.

Lars glared. "Dick." He fixed Jason with a look. "What the fuck are you doing?"

Jason shrugged. "Playing." He draped an arm around James' shoulders.

"Well it's not fucking funny," Lars sulked.

James grinned at Jason. "It sure as fuck is."

Jason grinned back. "Yeah. Lighten up," he said to Lars. "We were just having fun."

Lars waved his hands at them. "Go have fun at Kirk's."

"But he doesn't have any shrubbery," Jason reasoned.

Lars glared at them again. "Is this just an excuse to make out in public?"

"Aww. He figured us out," Jason said with a disappointed look.

James and Jason stepped forward to flank Lars.

"Want to come play with us?" James didn't wait for an answer, but pulled Lars and Jason back into the shrubbery with him.

The politician mention is for Molly, who said, in answer to the original question, "Having sex with the president?"

Shut up, you, or I'll stab you with a q-tip. I don't need more ideas or encouragment.
