Diner #3: What would you suggest?
Waiter: I'm just the waiter, I don't have time to make suggestions.
Diner #3: Fine, I'll have clam chowder and a bowl of ice cream.

Required: 6 or more students

 

Script: (scout #1 walks center stage and bends down, concentrating on something on the ground. Scout #2 walks to him.)

Scout #2: What are you looking at?
Scout #1: These tracks here. I can't tell what kind they are. They look kind of like wolf tracks.
Scout #2: Hmmm. Naw, those are bear tracks.
Scout #1: I don't think so, they are too long for bear tracks.
Scout #2: Well, let's get Bobby to help us. Hey, Bobby!

(Scout #3 walks to them.)
 
Scout #3: What are you looking at?
Scout #1: These tracks here. I think they're wolf tracks, he thinks they're bear tracks. What do you think?
Scout #3: Nah, too skinny for wolf tracks. I'd say they're skunk tracks.

(all 3 scouts continue to examine the tracks closely as 3 more scouts holding waists in a line to form a train come chugging quickly down the tracks and bowl them all over.)
 
Scout #1: Aha! I guess they were TRAIN TRACKS!

Skit: Why Are You Late?

Source: http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/skit/why_are_you_late-1384.asp

Required: 5 students

Script: The setting is an office where the boss is grumpily waiting for the workers to arrive.

(first worker comes onstage)
Boss: Why are you late?
Worker #1: Sorry, Boss. My car broke down, so I took the bus. But the bus driver had a wreck, so I hailed a cab. But it broke down, too. Luckily, I was near a stable so I borrowed a horse. But it ran so fast it had a heart attack and collapsed. I had to jog the rest of the way!

(Workers 2 and 3 come in late with exactly the same excuse, word for word. The boss becomes more frustrated each time, until #4 finally comes in.)

Boss: Why are you late? No, wait. Let me guess. Your car broke down, so you took the bus. But the bus had a wreck, so you took a cab. And it broke down too. You were near a stable so you borrowed a horse, but it ran so fast it had a heart attack and collapsed, so you had to jog the rest of the way, right?

Worker #4: No, Boss, you got it all wrong! The streets were so crowded with broken down cars, buses and cabs, dead horses, and crazy joggers that I couldn't get through!
