Warehouse Person, Store Manager, 5 Customers, Two Victims, Broomstick
Setting: Party Supplies Store
(Get two victims to hold, at each end, the broomstick-this will be your manager's store counter.)
Customer #1: Hi! I'd like to buy some balloons for my daughter's birthday party.
Manager: Of course, Sir. Let me check with the back. (Calling to back of warehouse.) Do we have any
Warehouse: (Calling from back-an accent works well, or he's hard of hearing.) Let me check. (Pause)
No! No balloons!
Manager: Gee, I'm sorry, Sir. Thank you for stopping by!
(Continue with each customer trying to get cakes, party favors, candies, games for the little darlings,
hats, and so on. Each time, the Manager calls back, the warehouse person responds that he'll check,
says no, and the manager apologizes. Finally,)
Last Customer: I've been waiting in line here for a while and I've noticed that you don't have anything
that anybody wants. What do you have for parties?
Manager: (Slowly looks at each of the victims, considering each.) Well, I do have two suckers on a stick!
The Statue Warehouse
Tour Guide, Group of Tourists (optional), 1 Victim, Statues, Aquaman Statue with mouthful of water
Setting: Statue Museum (or Warehouse of Old, Unused Statues)
Guide: Welcome to the museum of Superheroes. We have an unique collection of statues in that you can press a button and the statues come alive to imitate their real life counterparts. See here, forinstance. This is Superman. Watch as I push the button on his chest.
(Superman comes out of stiff standing position and takes a flying position, then resumes a stiff standing position. Guide continues through the tour, occasionally letting someone try the statues of Spiderman,
the Flash, Batman, Wonderwoman, each with a different action and way of activating them (pull arm, press nose, and so on.) Finally they get to Aquaman.)
Guide: Now this is our last statue; Aquaman is our pride and joy. However, it seems that sometimes it just won't activate. Better let me try first.
(Pulls arm. Nothing. "Aquaman," he whispers. He tries the arm again. Nothing.)
(To victim) You, Sir? Would you like to try? He's rather finicky. Maybe he'll work if you try.
(Victim tries and Aquaman spits out a mouthful of water at him.)
