Recently, in the "What were they thinking????" thread, this was posted:

Even in Gatch, it would be amusing to count how many times one of them says "What do we do, Ken?" Sometimes makes me expect him to yell, "Don't the rest of you have brains?" |

Amethyst responded with a pokey stick, and CW replied that the thought had occurred to her, but nothing usable had come yet.
I guess a muse got us mixed up -- I got smacked upside the head with this little ficlet.
==========
“ What should we do now, Ken?”
“ Galactor’s attacking! Should we return fire?”
“ I’m having troubles deciding -- should I blast ’em straight to hell, or should I let them swing past Purgatory on the way?”
“ Should we order the mashed potatoes with gravy or the mac and cheese as the side dish?”
“ Aniki, how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?”
“ Boxers or briefs, Commander?”
Ken knew that being the leader of the Science Ninja Team involved answering questions and making decisions. But, doggone it, sometimes it seemed as if the rest of his team had their brains replaced with stale jelly beans.
Well, except for the last question, anyway. Ken’s BirdStyle was being refitted, and the new tailor thought whoever filled in the form had scribbled “ Commander” in the “ underwear worn” blank. Just remembering her made him swell with...well, let’s say “pride” and move on.
He was sure he’d been expertly and patiently handling each question, be it “ Reverse polarity of the neutron flow”, “ Send them through the Ancient Egyptian Land of the Dead and make them skim across the lake of human filth before sending them to hell,” or even, “ Let’s get potato wedges instead.” But it was getting preposterous -- he was sure they’d soon be asking him if they should go to the restroom!
And what he saw when he entered the Snack J didn’t bolster his confidence. All four of his teammates were in the throes of a debate. As soon as he was through the door, the others stopped, turned to him, and said in unison, “ Ken, what should we “ --
“ STOP RIGHT THERE!” Ken rarely shouted so loudly. “ You are all driving me insane! Don’t the rest of you have brains?!”
Joe, Jun, Jinpei, and Ryu quietly exchanged glances. They silently made their way over to Ken, reaching into his or her back pocket as they went. Suddenly, four small packets of paper were thrust into Ken’s face, a finger pointing to a specific line.
Ken grabbed one of the packets and started reading. “ Oh...that wasn't put in my contract...”
