Time passes.

Your uncle reaches into his pocket and pulls forth a folded napkin.
Time passes.

"It seems that old Biff has gone and pissed off the Mafia again," says your uncle.

He unfolds the napkin and shakes some donut crumbs from it.
Time passes.

Your uncle continues, "only this time, he didn't have any chewing gum with him, and well, I'm afraid he's about 6 leagues under."

"Oh dear," remarks your aunt.
Time passes.

More of your family is listening to Uncle Ogdajon now.

"Here I have his last will and testament, written on this napkin. It's sort of a strange will, but I guess he wrote it in a hurry! Heh. It says,"

     dear family,
     I, Biff, of sound mind and slightly mutilated body,
     will my entire estate to the member of my family
     who can retrieve the most of the following items:

"Alright!" whoops your cousin.

"And then there's a list." says your uncle.
Time passes.

You uncle folds up the napkin, and finishes, "I guess I'll go make some photocopies of it and we can get started!"

Uncle Ogdajon ambles his way east to the study.

>look at napkin
Through crumples and coffee stains you can make out Biff's last will and testament. There is also a list of items to collect:

  In order of importance:

  1 medium-sized cute little bunny
  3 jellybeans
  1 orange
  1 spoon
  1 television set

Uncle Ogdajon hands the photocopy of a napkin to you.

>unfold it
As you unfold the napkin, you notice that it was folded the wrong way around.  Biff probably did that to make more room for the will, since there's a logo printed on the other side.

>look at logo

[Press Any Key][   Something about the bunny rabbit
  makes me want to reach and grab it.
  Pet it, feed it, comb it, dab it,
  why has this become a habit?
  
  Fuzzy fur and floppy ears?
  The way he settles all my fears?
  Or how he kind of shyly peers
  through fluffy tufts as supper nears?
  
  Only Mr. Bunny knows
  the way The Way of Nature goes.
  He likes to hop and twitch his nose
  and knows just when it's time to doze.]
