    Wait… How did Tip find them anyways? Does he have some sort of superpower for annoying his coworkers?

      Yes, it’s right next door to the superpower that renders him oblivious to subtleties like bolted ducts and barbed wires.

          Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Can’t Take a Hint Man . . . and his faithful sidekick Woozy!

            Faster than a “subtle” clue! More powerful than any logic! Able to leap to conclusions in a single bound!

      And everyone thinks that antenna on the puppet to Tip’s right is just for show…

    How did Sweetheart work the bolts?

    (Don’t tell me Unity did it. Unity doesn’t put bolts on.)

      Obviously she has self-sealing stem bolts

    (TUNE: Theme to “The Muppet Show”, Jim Henson & Sam Pottle)

    GODOT, you’d better open
    Before I count to three!
    We can avoic, I’m hopin’,
    Wilkin’s puppet the-ra-py!

    I hope he hasn’t found them!
    I hid them carefully!
    His patients, he’ll confound them
    With his puppet the-ra-py!

     I found my little helpers!
     Inside a metal box
     Behind the bolts and barbed wire
     And e-lec-tron-ic locks!

    We’ll open up this door, or
    We won’t; just wait and see!
    And now begins the horror
    Of the task of critical, analytical,
    Non-political, (Sweetheart’s cynical!)
    Doc-tor Wil-kin’s pup-pet the-ra-pyyyyyyyy!

      Now I can’t help hearing Statler’s and/or Waldorf’s voice coming out of Tip.

      Also, you’ve revealed how the door will be opened: Gonzo will bash it in!

        Statler: “Maybe Gonzo should quit while he’s ahead.”
        Waldorf: “Gonzo should quit while he’s alive!”

      That’s beautiful. Same to you, Arbiter Rob. I practically have a tear rolling from my eye.

    Waldorf: Was that dog talking to the guy in the dress or the puppets?
    Statler: What’s the difference?
    Both: Ha ha ha ha!

    Statler: “Personally I don’t care for puppets much. I don’t find them believable.”
    Waldorf: “I don’t believe you!”

    I feel like there needs to be a Kickstarter campaign to make an entire set of Tip’s therapy puppets.

    Somehow, I see Tip saying this perfectly straight-faced and enjoying Sweetheart’s utter frustration. Sarcasm FTW. And he probably has half a dozen sets of therapy puppets for those times when he can’t find what Sweetheart ddi with them.

      Tip would definitely need spares for when he finds that they’ve been used a chew toys.
      Now, whether it’s Sweetheart or Unity that’s doing the chewing, I’m not saying.

      More than brilliant–how’d she wrap the box with barbed wire? Ow!

    Ummm… can I have my barbed-wire tackle-box back please? The Mini-bison keep trying to eat all my cheese-balls and Jello-worms.

    No, the chocolate fountain-pen goes over THERE…
