: Lowering the BarA Doughnut Drama in Three Acts
By Kevin Underhill
Act One.
A small town in Oregon. Two men in "cowboy garb," Adam and Vincent, are eating doughnuts. Enter two sheriff's deputies.
DEPUTY ONE: A burglary has been reported.
DEPUTY TWO: Yes, we must hurry to the scene of it.
VINCENT: Doughnuts, officers?
Adam smirks, but says nothing.
DEPUTY ONE: No thank you, cowboy. We are on official police business.
VINCENT: Suit yourself.
Act Two.
The burgled store.
DEPUTY ONE: Shopkeeper, what has been stolen?
SHOPKEEPER: A number of items, including, but not limited to,
cigarettes, candy, chewing gum, and doughnuts.
DEPUTY ONE: Doughnuts, you say?
SHOPKEEPER: Yes, doughnuts are among the items that were stolen.
Please, inspect my shop for clues.
DEPUTY ONE: I observe here on the floor the prints of cowboy boots.
SHOPKEEPER: I fear this crime may never be solved.
DEPUTY ONE: There is hope, for a reason of which you are unaware.
DEPUTY TWO: I did not appear in this scene.
Act Three.
A courtroom.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY: The officers then put two and two together.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY: My client, Your Honor, is unintelligent and was easily led.
ADAM: Also, I had been drinking whiskey.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY: No, you are unintelligent and easily led.
JUDGE: You are also convicted.
Exeunt omnes.
