The Real Reason Why Major Maistroff Isn't Allowed More Bridge Rotations:

Captain Gloval comes onto the Bridge.
Major Maistroff rises from the Captain's Chair.
"Major Maistroff, I am here to take over bridge command."
"Captain Gloval, I hereby turn over command to you."
They salute, Maistroff goes to the door to leave, Gloval to sit down in his chair.
Gloval reaches down to re-adjust the chair settings, then recoils in disgust as his hand comes back with a wad of chewing gum stuck to it.
"MAISTROFF!!!!!!"

...that, and when Maistroff finishes off the pot of coffee in the officers' lounge off the bridge, he neglects to put on a fresh pot...

Maistroff: (Sitting on the bridge, pulling out a cigarette) "Ahh time to relax."



Sammie: (Pointing an enormous gun at Maistroff's head) "You seriously want to reconsider that..."

Maistroff: " "

Later ...

Gloval: (Entering the bridge) "#SNIFF# What's that smell?"

The Real Reason Why Major Maistroff Isn't Allowed More Bridge Rotations:

Kim: "Claudia, where's Maj. Maistroff?"
Claudia: "Sickbay..."
Kim: "What happened?!"
Claudia: "The doctors are trying to pull his foot out of his mouth...after Maistroff tried to hit on Sammie..."

"MAISTROFF! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT THERMOSTAT OR YOU BURN IN HELL!!!!"

Gloval: "MMMAIISSSTTTRROOFFF!! You sat on my pipe!!"

"Major Maistroff, it is recommended that before you assume the Captain's chair YOU WAIT UNTIL THE CAPTAIN IS NO LONGER SITTING IN IT!!!!"

"Major Maistroff, if you're going to keep setting off Sammie like that, then PLEASE PUT ON A PAIR OF DEPENDS[sup]tm[/sup] BEFORE SITTING IN THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR!!!"

"Ah, commander?"
"Yes, ensign?"
"What do those buttons on the arms of the Captain's chair do?"
"Well, since you're newly assigned to the Bridge and will be doing regular duty here, I'll tell you. But, this is classified information, known only to the Captain and bridge personnel ONLY, nobody else, understand?"
"Understood, Commander Grant!"
"Those are 'Maistroff Controls"."
"...and what do they do?"
"Nothing. They're not connected to anything meaningful at all."
"!?"
"See, when Major Maistroff sits bridge rotation, he gets fidgety and finicky, and he starts looking for something to do. If we had working controls within his reach, he'd feel tempted to touch and press them, and that might result in disaster if he pushed the wrong buttons. But, with controls right at his fingertips, his attention is diverted, and his behavior rendered harmless."
"Uh..nonfunctioning dummy controls? Does Captain Gloval know about this?"
"It was his idea."

"Vanessa, you seem calmer today. Yesterday you were practically foaming at the mouth about your lunch being stolen again from the lounge fridge."
"Well, yes, I was sort of berserk, but that was counterproductive and solved nothing. I mean, when I got mad the first ten times my lunch was stolen, it didn't do any good-"
"EEEYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
_-which is why THIS time I boobytrapped my lunch with rabid badgers."
"GETTHEMOFFGETRGEMOFFGETTHEMOFFGETTHEMOFFFFFF!!!!!!"
"-I feel much better today."

"Were those rabid badgers chasing Maj. Maistroff?!"
"Apparently so..."
