| Notes: | This is a classic counting skit with a punchline about wasting time. The counting should be done quickly and in unison. The humor comes from the ironic ending. |
(Five Scouts walk in a line, counting quickly and in unison.)
[Scout 1:] 1.
[Scout 2:] 2.
[Scout 3:] 3.
[Scout 4:] 4.
[Scout 5:] 5.
[Scout 1:] 6.
[Scout 2:] 7...
(The counting continues with each Scout taking turns until Scout 5 reaches the number 60.)
[Scout 5:] ...58... 59... 60!
(All Scouts stop and turn to face the audience.)
[All Scouts:] (together) We have just wasted one minute of your time. Thank you.
(All Scouts bow and exit quickly.)
(Freeze. Blackout.)
