Tuna (AIM challenge)

“Now whatever you do, do NOT eat that tuna!”
” But why not Sarge? You know it is irresistable!”
Sarge gave me a bonk on the head.
“You just don’t understand do you? Those men are trying to kill us! Don’t you see? They could have poisoned that plate of tuna, or i don’t know…it may even explode if you touch it!”
I looking longingly over at the plate. The fishy aroma was teasing my senses. Then I looked back at Sarge and said, “But MeLike2na…”
“Yes I realize that,” Sarge argued, “but you must refrain. Just this one time. You got it?”
“Ok,” I mumbled.
“Good.” And he walked away.

Now I tried to follow Sarge’s orders, I really tried. But…
I couldn’t resist.

In hindsight, I probably should have stayed away form the tuna.
