So yesterday, I suddenly realised I needed to go to Paris right away and find a bunch of Berets - you know, for my Kazzzzoo Band & Orchestra Uniforms.
Of course, I didn’t have a way to get there, so I got ahold of Fleur de Bee in Paris (her Office was moved for Security Reasons, but her Voice Number is the same). She told me she’d bee glad to help me out, and that she was Highly Flattered, since I told her she was the one who inspired the idea of having Berets for my Bee Kazzzzoo Band & Orchestra Uniforms.
Fleur is so nice that she got me Round-Trip-Tickets on the Express Flight from Denver to Algiers, which just happens to make a stop in Paris. (It makes a 30-second layover there so that they can pick up the day’s Buzz•O•Grams™ for delivery.) I was pleased to find out that, even though I had to ride inside the Baggage Compartment, they give you your choice of a Nectar Fizz or one, Complementary Pollen Puff on the flight, so that was a good thing.
When I finally got to Paris, I found a 24-Hour Beret Boutique (lucky for me, it was open), and started shopping for a bunch of Berets. I wanted to pick a colour that was festive and eye-catching, but something that wouldn’t attract Hummingbirds. After a whole bunch of not beeing able to decide, I ended up buying about 87,000 black Berets. (Black goes with everything, ya’ know, at least, that’s what the Beret SalesBee in Paris told me.) Then all I had to do was to figure out a way to get all those Berets back home.
I decided the best way to do that was to just stuff all those Berets into my Carry-On Valise, so I did that. But when I showed up at the Airport to catch that Express Flight back to Denver, the Flight Attendant said, “We’re probably sorry, sir, but your Carry-On exceeds the Permissible Size and Weight Limitations as described in our Passenger Baggage Guidelines, so you’ll only bee able to bring 20 of your Berets on board with you. You’ll have to leave the rest of them here.”
“Only 20?” After what I’d been through, I felt like arguing.
“20, sir,” she said, “that’s the Limit.”
“What if I told you that these Berets were essential to…”
“20, sir. Now, you can either do as I say, or you and your Berets can find another way to Denver,” she buzzed at me.
“But…” I started to say.
The Flight Attendant just put her wings on her hips, gave me a dirty look, and said, “Are you going to force me to call Security, sir?”
I told her I didn’t think that would bee necessary, since they were just Berets, and I can always get more. Probably.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about travelling, it’s that you should never argue with the Flight Attendant. It’s just bad policy. Plus, if you make them mad, they’ll make sure you don’t get your Complementary Pollen Puff, or maybe forget to put the Fizz in your Nectar Fizz.
Of course, I did what she said: I counted out 86,980 Berets and left them with Unclaimed Baggage in Paris for safe-keeping. Then we made the flight back home. (I would have gotten back to my Boot Box much sooner than this, but the traffic was terrible beetween here and Denver.)
So I here I am, back safe and sound in my Boot Box, and ready to get to work on my Kazzzzoo Band & Orchestra! And luckily, I managed to get back just in time for the Opening Ceremonies of the Bee Games. (I’m highly excited about going to that tonight. I’ll finally get a chance to use my new Souvenir Bee Games Seat Cushion which I plan to take with me, just as soon as I find that.)
But first, I’m gonna go enjoy a nice, late lunch, then take a nap. For some reason, I feel kinda groggy.
Anyway, I hope everybody has a highly Tray Bee-En day, as they say in Paris!
I’ll see ya’ on Monday!
