| The Killer Asteroid by Dwayne Yancey |
|
| Description | Three slightly different versions of the same basic idea: THE KILLER ASTEROID (observatory version) A young observatory assistant wakes up the chief astronomer in the middle of the night to warn him that a killer asteroid is headed straight for earth. Except the assistants calculations are wrong. Comedy ensues. Cast: Two one male, one non-gender. Running time: 1 minute. THE KILLER ASTEROID (married couple version) A man (or woman) wakes up his wife (or husband) in the middle of the night. He (or she) thought he heard on TV that a killer asteroid is headed straight for earth, so it seems time to confess a long litany of adulterous sins. Except the man (or woman) heard wrong. Comedy ensues. Comes in alternate versions with the man and woman in reversed roles. Cast: Two one male, one female. Running time: Five minutes. THE KILLER ASTEROID (professors version) Three astronomers are working when one of them announces hes discovered a killer asteroid headed straight for earth and all are doomed. He figures in the time remaining he should come clean about a long litany of wrongs he has committed against the department chairman, from plagiarizing his work to cheating with his wife. Except his math is wrong, which a third astronomer ultimately points out. Oops. Cast: Three males. Running time: Five minutes. |
