I am still officially on vacation from this blog, but while cleaning the house I found a dialog for a skit I wrote way back at the University for a German Klass. It was so silly and embarrassing, I thought I’d make it public by posting it here.

It is called ‘Die Angst’ which means ‘the Fear.’ Here is the prologue (In English):

Narrator: Many years ago, there happened about this fellow who shall remain nameless. Now Bob (That was his name) had it good. He and his wife, Scotty - of whom he knew very well, set sail for the New World. However, they had to stop for directions midway. It was at this very spot where Bob and Scotty encountered a giant man-eating-sloth (it was a good thing for Scotty - being a woman). “Poor Bob,” Scotty thought as she watched the giant man-eating-sloth consume her husband, “Oh well, we’ll always have Paris!” And they did.

Interrupter: Wait a minute. What does any of this have to do with German?!

Narrator: Nothing, nothing at all. It’s just every dialog should start with a Bang.

Interrupter: Well did it?

Narrator: Did it what?

Interrupter: A Bang, that is, did it start with a Bang?

Narrator: BANG!

That is how it started and it just goes downhill from there. You might ask what this has to do with Japanese. Nothing, nothing at all.
