Cast: 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

balloons?

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, "Just the bottom of the line, no frills birthday

party supplies," 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!
