Excerpt from The Book of Toac the internationally acclaimed off-off-off Broadway comedy.*
Act 1 scene 1: A proposition
Not since the days of Job have the heavens conspired against one individual in such a malicious, conspicuous and ridiculous way.
------
Hard at work running the universe G is interrupted by a phone call from an old acquaintance.
G: Yo-bo-sey-yo?
d: Hey G, what's going on?
G: Nothing much. I've been experimenting with a new galaxial formula, I think next time I'll use real milk.
d: Fascinating.
G: It’s been a long time since we last spoke what have you been getting yourself into? Wreaking havoc and chaos I’ll assume.
d: Funny you should mention that, do you remember a few years back when we had that little competition to see if I could get Job** to turn on you?
G: Yeah, he’s still pretty miffed about that.
d: Understandably. Well, I’ve been giving it some thought and I’ve got a wicked plan for a rematch.
G: I’m listening…
d: There’s this little brown girl in
G: Short, feisty, a little too sure of herself? Yeah I know the one.
d: I’m not talking about doing anything too drastic, frankly I really don’t think it’ll take that much – but I think she’s the perfect candidate.
G: You shouldn’t underestimate her d she’s full of surprises.
d: Right, right…
to be continued...

never has a TOACian play had only one act and one scene dear boy. you will understand in blogs to come.
oh my gosh!!! You had me laughing up a storm!!! Bad for two reasons - number one - I'm wretchedly sick and laughing is painful - I could damage my swollen spleen, yo!! Number two - my housemate came knocking on my door - the poor guy thought I was crying!!
Oh - and Sweet - I understand. Mwah ha ha ha!!!
the key to understanding is a basic background in biblical stories and an extensive understanding of my twisted mind.
