New Saw
Need: 3 scouts (1 as announcer).
Announcer: This scene takes place in a hardware store in a small north
woods lumber town.
Lumberjack: (Enters) My old crosscut saw is worn out, and I need
something that will let me cut more wood, or I'm
going to go broke !
Owner: Yes, sir ! For only one hundred bucks you can be the proud owner of
this chain saw. I guarantee that it will cut twice as much wood in a
day as your own crosscut.
Lumberjack: (Handing over money) O.K. great ! (Exits)
Announcer: The next day.
Lumberjack: (Enters tiredly) There's something wrong with this
saw. I worked very hard yesterday, and only cut half
as much wood.
Owner: Well, sir, I have a lot of faith in this product.
Here, I'll put a new chain on it and you give it
another try.
Lumberjack: O.K., but if it doesn't do any better, I'll be back !
(Exits)
Announcer: The next day.
Lumberjack: (Enters exhausted) This darned saw is no good. I
worked even harder, and still it won't cut half the
wood of my old saw ! I want my money back !
Owner: Yes, sir ! Just let me check it out here. (Pulls
starter rope
Announcer: (Makes sound effects of saw running.)
Lumberjack: Oh, my gosh! What on earth is all that noise ?
