What Goes Around Comes Around
1. 2003 - Earring
"Why do you listen to Barney?" Ted complained, dabbing Marshall's ear with a damp washcloth. "I'm not sure this is hygienic."
"It hurts so much! Ted, oh my God, is there gangrene?"
Ted patted the larger man's shoulder. "No dude. I think it's just an infection. But… why, man?"
Marshall sighed. "Barney said it would make me look like a pirate."
Ted laughed. "You're kidding!"
"Damn you 'Pirates of the Caribbean'!"
"Just don't start dressing up as Captain Jack?" Ted warned him, laughing.
"Dude! Of course not!" Marshall replied, sneeringly. Then, under his breath he muttered, "Well, maybe for Halloween."
2. 2006 - Suit
Marshall sat despondently on the couch. "Hey man, you okay?" Ted asked. "Wedding stress getting you down?"
Marshall shrugged. "Just went to see Sergei to give him the check."
Ted whistled through his teeth and handed his friend a beer. "That was a lot of dough for a suit, man. Why did you ever trust Barney? I mean it's Barney!"
Marshall sighed. "It's not that."
"What then?"
"There was this iguana in this cage looking at me. Lil' fella reminded me of Jebediah."
"Ouch, dude."
"I know. Damn you Barney!"
"May he burn in hell!"
They clinked their beer bottles.
3. 2009 - Argument
"BURN IN HELL!" Robin shouted in Barney's face. She had an actual gun. Pointing at his… barnana.
"You know who's fault this is?" Robin screamed at him.
"Marshall's?" Barney offered with a gulp.
"What?" Robin seethed. She was well past nostril flaring and into homicidal mania. There was a click as she cocked the pistol. "Who's fault is this, Barney?" Robin repeated, threateningly.
Barney shook his head slightly. "Mine," he squeaked. Maybe there was something in this "putting your ego aside" stuff when confronted by an angry half-Canadian hottie with a firearm.
"Good boy," she smiled.
He was so busted.
