Day 132 (234) – A Play a Day in May #12

“Nun” of your Business

 

Location: Grocery Store

Characters: Clerk, Nun

 

[The scene begins with the grocery clerk scanning the nun's items.  He gets to the final item and has trouble scanning the item.  The clerk decides to call for a price check.]

Clerk: Price check on Trojan Condoms. (pause) Out of curiosity, why do you need these?

Nun: Well young sir, it’s really “nun” of your business, but if you must know, I plan on “monk”eying around later.

FADE TO BLACK

 

————————

 Side Note: I think that I sometimes overanalyze by own skits/jokes too much.  My initial crack at this one left the joke as just the “price check” and was (supposed to be) funny because it was an observational/juxtaposition type premise.  But then I thought, “What if an audience just assumed that the nun was buying them to give out in the community to promote safe sex?”  So then I added the additional lines which made the premise of the skit more about puns than situational observation.

 

Side Note Side Note: Now of course I realize that my first concern (about passing out condoms) is actually very unlikely given that there probably aren’t too many churches out there promoting pre-marital sex and morally supporting the use of birth control.
