[Scout:] Hercules, how can I become as big and strong as you?
[Hercules:] Hmmm, let me see. OK, I will share a secret with you. Go home and rub oil on your head every day for one week.
[Scout:] Wow, Thank you! (exits)
[Scout:] (enters crouching down to be short) Hercules, Hercules, it didn't work! Now I'm even shorter than I was!
[Hercules:] Hmmm, that's strange. Well, go home and rub oil on your head every day for 2 weeks.
[Scout:] Well, OK (exits)
[Scout:] (enters crouching as low as possible) Hercules, Hercules, look at me! I'm shorter than ever!
[Hercules:] I don't understand. Did you do what I said?
[Scout:] Yes!
[Hercules:] What kind of oil did you rub on your head?
[Scout:] Crisco
[Hercules:] Crisco!?! That's not oil! That's SHORTENING!!!
