COMING TO BETAMAX CHRISTMAS '98

Grass in the Mist

Fades in

A man sits down in a field of grass.

NARRATOR: This is Skippy Leadwell, the first and only scientist to live among grass for eleven years, doing a comprehensive study of its behavior and social patterns.

SKIPPY: Well, it's been four months since I first approached the grass, and I think they're really, really starting to accept me as one of their own now. It took me a while to win the trust of the leader of the pack (he points to a particularly tall blade of grass), but now I believe I am completely trusted by each and every blade of grass here.

NARRATOR: When Mr. Leadwell died two years ago, the secrets of his eleven-year study presumably died with him. Ever since then, people have wondered...what did he DO?

Cuts to Skippy holding a notebook

SKIPPY: I've done detailed drawings of about half the blades of grass in this field, along with their names and notes on their personalities. It's been loads of fun. I ran out of ink weeks ago, so now I use blood (He pulls out a needle)

NARRATOR: What did he learn?

SKIPPY: You might wonder how I figure out whether a blade of grass is male or female, which is a very good question. I use a highly scientific process referred to as "flipping a coin," which is my preferred technique in identifying the sex of a blade of grass.

NARRATOR: What did he use for toiler paper?

Cuts to a shot of Mr. Leadwell wiping his anus with a live squirrel

NARRATOR: Well, on May 19th, all of those questions will be answered, plus some questions you didn't really want answered!

Cuts to a shot of a naked coroner, peering at the camera.

CORONER: (itching his balls absentmindedly) Well, Leadwell's body was in decent shape, though there were quite a lot of small parasites living inside it. Thankfully, his cute little ass was in perfect shape.

NARRATOR: But his days of loneliness were coming to an end.

Terence glances down at his elbow.
