Following Tom LeClerc's suggestion to post favourite recipies/skits, I'm not _that_ good a cook (!) so I'll share a favourite skit. This one was done at a District Cuboree, by the ADC Cubs and his Service Team. They pulled in Pack Scouters to help as 'furniture' and left the best piece of furniture to some justly deserved scouter - which is where the punch-line becomes obvious. Scene: A new apartment which the owner is trying to sell. Initially the apartment is empty. The first potential occupant is shown around, and the beautiful view, well laid out kitchen, etc. is stressed. This person leaves the scene muttering about looking for a furnished place. The owner then solicits the help of Pack Scouters to act as pieces of furniture (Dining table, sofa, TV, etc - anything but a coffee table). Once the pieces are in place a new client is shown around, and more interest is expressed, however this person leaves muttering about the need for a FULLY furnished apartment. Our creative owner then gets more help from Pack Scouters, perhaps as a throw-rug, hall lamp, reading lamp, etc. This can be dragged on for as long as necessary, depending on audience reaction, cold weather, etc. At some point the owner asked the 'justly deserving' scouter to help out. This scouter is asked to represent a coffee table - so he must be on his hands and knees. A new client is then shown around, and, after the appropriate comments on the apartment layout, furnishings, etc., our client asks "What floor are we on?" at the response of "40th floor" our client looks out of the 'window' and staggers away, holding head, "I feel faint, I'm afraid of heights !" Our sincere owner then suggests that the client sits down and has a glass of water - . After taking a couple of sips, the client places the large cup of water on the coffee table, and then leaves. The owner then makes some comment about it being too difficult to sell/rent the apartment, and decides to return all the furnishings. In a load voice he thanks the Scouters for helping with the skit and asks them to return to the campfire circle. Unforunately, our 'justly deserving' scouter cannot move, as he has a large cup of water placed squarely on his back. The cubs were very quick to spot how this skit was to end - thankfully it was warm evening and it didn't take long for me to dry out. I'm still trying to come up with an original (at least to Whitby District Scouters) skit to respond......... Can anybody help ?
