PEANUTS
Scene: a courtroom. First defendant is brought, judge
says "what is she charged with?", answer is "throwing peanuts in the
river". Judge says that doesn't seem much of a crime, gives them a small
penalty (whatever). This happens with several people "throwing peanuts
in the river". Finally a girl comes in who is soaking wet. "And what
have you done? " Says the judge... "Nothing. I'm Peanuts" says the girl.
(groan).
BUS STOP
Someone's waiting at the bus stop, looking up at the sky.
Someone else joins the queue (line!), looks where she's looking, can't
work out what she's looking at. More and more people come & look up,
trying to see what the rest are staring at. Eventually someone asks
the girl at the front, and she says "I'm not looking at anything, I
just have a stiff neck".
SKI-ING LESSON
Explain that you're going to give a ski-ing lesson to 3 volunteers
from the audience. Get them to demonstrate various (made up) moves.
You'll need one "instructor" for each "learner". Once they've done this,
explain they need to show they can do it blindfolded. The instructor
stands behind the learner with her hands over their eyes. Do the same
moves. The joke (?? well it appeals to 10-year-olds anyway!) is that
one (or more) of the instructors has cocoa / drinking chocolate powder
on her hands so the "learners" come away looking like raccoons (and
probably don't realize).
