setup: Why do peppers make such good archers?

[Olympic Commentator] qua headset, blue blazer, monitor showing target rings We’re back live from Tokyo. Field eighteen. Peppers’ Individual Recurve. The medal contenders have just stepped to the line.

[Color Commentator] qua former silver medalist, scarf What a roster, Don. We’ve got Habanero in lane three, Carolina Reaper in lane five, and the Ghost — the Ghost, Don — in lane seven.

[Olympic Commentator] Habanero nocks. Draws. The capsicum is visible under the bowstring.

[Color Commentator] Look at that form. Look at the form.

[Shakes] qua Pimento, the alternate, beaming This is the best of all possible Olympic villages.

[Olympic Commentator] Habanero releases.

((WHISTLE OF ARROW. THUD INTO CENTER GOLD.))

[Color Commentator] Ten. Ten, Don. From sixty meters. That’s not luck. Habanero has been training in the Yucatán.

[Olympic Commentator] Tell me about that, Steve.

[Color Commentator] Yucatán has altitude. Yucatán has humidity. Yucatán has that one specific bowyer who only works with peppers.

[Manyfeek] qua bell pepper in the stands, holding a foam #1 finger ((SHOUTING)) ELIMINATE THE NIGHTSHADES! ELIMINATE THE NIGHTSHADES!

[Olympic Commentator] The crowd is invested.

[Color Commentator] The bell pepper community has strong feelings about this event.

[Olympic Commentator] Carolina Reaper to the line. Draws.

[Color Commentator] She’s crying, Don.

[Olympic Commentator] She always cries, Steve. That’s her thing.

(([Carolina Reaper] RELEASES. SECOND THUD, ALSO GOLD.))

[Color Commentator] This event is over. The peppers are the bow.

punchline: Because they habanero.
