STUNTS

Santa Clara County Council

A person comes on stage, looking up at the sky.  Each following person comes in, looks at the first person, then looks up at the sky and continues looking.  They continue this for a while, until the last person asks the one ahead of him what he’s looking at.  He doesn’t know, and asks the one ahead of him and so up so the first one, who says, “I’m not looking at anything.  I have a stiff neck.”
