The End


LAST REQUEST
Scene 1: Funeral, two children are crying - a boy and a girl. There are lots of Italians dressed in black looking sombre. Very emotional setting.

Scene 2: Man of Asian Canadian descent bursts into the ceremony at full speed wearing butt-less chaps, lipstick, red and black eye shadow that is smeared with tears. He runs up to the coffin, his buttocks bouncing shamelessly with cottage cheese dimples. He embraces the dead man ….
and gently caresses his hair…purring “Pretty…oh pretty!” in a high pitched, very gay voice. Then just runs out of the funeral home crying…

Scene 3: The curley haired son looks at his sister who is distraught and confused. “Why?” They both looks to the heavens for an answer…

Scene 4: Mother staring wide eyed with confused expression.

(Little does anyone know that the MO Gwylo and Asian man had a deal. If one of them died, they had to act out this scene. This scenerio actually affected their work as they thought about it and wrote it down. Man hours lost - 3. Cost of actual wasted company time - $240.00. ROI - $0.0. Creating a blog in tumultous times at work - priceless.)

The End


SUICIDE ART
Scene 1: Manager is in his office at the service desk centre – open concept cubicles without any privacy. Manager walks up to an employee and says “Why aren’t you taking calls?” He points to the screen which has a yellow number 3 on the board. His angry expression is enough to make the others turn. The Managers hair is like mad professor…sticking up in dissarray– his giant horny owl eyebrows are raised.

Scene 2: The employee (who happens to be the MO Gwylo) reaches under his desk with a newly provided cabinet – brand new installed that day. He opens the drawer, removes a small sawed off shotgun – Remington 235…then places a hat with inflated paint filled balloons on his head in a variety of colors. Then he places a paint ball in his mouth.

Scene 3: MO Gwylo pushes a button on his desk, the roof panel slides open and reveals a large art canvas above his cubicle.

Scene 4: The employee takes the gun, places it under his chin, and blows his head off. The paint and brain matter create a colorful display on the canvas.

Scene 5: - Three months later. The manager in his office, eyes wide with shock. The veins in his eyes are POPPING out like a cartoon. His hands are shaking….and he's foaming at the mouth…white face. "Why? WHAT DID I SAY..."

The End


CORD BLOOD

You will all notice a small piece of dried meat on your plates…please take this as an offering to the new couple.”

FLANK STRAP
Scene 1: Narrator Voice
Preface: Serious voice like Lorne Green - “Bull riding is a rodeo sport that involves a rider getting on a large bull and attempting to stay mounted for at least 8 seconds while the animal attempts to buck off the rider. The rider tightly fastens one hand to the bull with a long braided rope. It is a risky sport and has been called "the most dangerous eight seconds in sports."

Scene 2: A rider mounts a bull and grips a flat braided rope. After he secures a good grip on the rope, the rider nods to signal he is ready. The bucking chute (a small enclosure which opens from the side) is opened and the bull storms out into the arena.

Scene 3: The bull bucks, rears, kicks, spins, and twists in an effort to throw the rider off. When the ride ends, either intentionally or not, the bull fighters move in to protect the rider from harm. He runs toward the fence and the clowns move in to distract the rider.

Note: There is a heated debate between animal rights organizations and bull riding enthusiasts over many aspects of the sport. The first controversy is over the use of a flank strap. The flank strap is placed around a bulls flank, in front of the hind legs, and encourages bucking. Critics claim that the flank strap encircles or otherwise binds the testicles of the bull. However, others note that the flank strap is anatomically impossible to place over the genitals; as well as unrealistic, pointing out that the bull's genes are valuable and that there is a strong economic incentive to keep the animal in excellent reproductive health. Further, particularly in the case of bulls, an animal that is sick and in pain usually will not want to move at all, will not buck as well, and may even lie down in the chute or ring rather than buck.

The End
