December 2011
Unemployed New York Actor NICK WINTERS & his wife NORA sit down in front of their 12" TV watching the embers crackle on the Fake Fire Channel; as they chat about his new Temp job:
NORA
You ain't no Saint - Nick!
NICK
I am for 2 weeks!
NORA
When you gonna get a real job?
NICK
The Agency says - "Let's see how you work with children".
NORA
Well, don't blame me - you never wanted any & my Eggs dried up when I had a bad Egg Salad Sandwich!
NORA
What are you promising those kids on your knee?
NICK
Well, it ain't a Pony; like I was promised!
NORA
When we get out of Brooklyn; you should see a Shrink!
NICK
It's not that - the hardest part of this job is that "Lactose Intolerant" issue Marilyn Sands wrote about!
NORA
No - I think it's the 6 Pack you inhale watching "Maury"!
NICK
You're takng away my one pleasure!
NORA
Give me a break - you're the only Santa who doesn't use a Pillow in his pants!
NICK
Love me the way I am!
NORA
Jolly? You're Jelly!
NICK
I can't help it - Mothers in Line give me Fruitcake!
NORA
Just say "No" - you're in front of The Dollar Store not Nordstrom!
NICK
To the Moon, Nora!
NORA
What did you say?
NICK
Our Anniversary is coming up soon?
NORA
When did you remember our Anniversary?
NICK
Why would I?
NORA
What did you say?
NICK
"I Saw Santa Kissing The Wal-Mart Greeter"!
NORA
The way this is going - you're gonna be singing "All I Want For Christmas Is My 2 Front Teeth"!
NORA
Stop this Blog now!
NICK
Yeah - people don't want to read any more of this - it's Christmas. And OPEN CALL too!
NORA
Nick - you're the Greatest!
