Ain't Foolin' Around (Introductory Sketch)

Introductory Sketch

1: Guess I'll read this Bible a bit. Okay, Psalms, yeah. Hmmm, fourteen's a good number. Let's see what it has to say.

2: (walks up, listening)

1: "The fool has said in his heart there is no God." Huh! I wonder what they mean by fool. Lesse, here's the dictionary... fall... fog... food... foot... too far... here it is, fool: "British for a kind of dessert made of crushed, stewed, fruit mixed with cream or custard and served cold." Wait a minute! Desserts can't talk! This is stupid or a joke or something. This Bible doesn't make sense. Hey! If the Bible isn't right, there's no God! (starts to walk off in disgust)

2: Wait a minute, yourself! Let me see that dictionary. OK, here it is; you gave the least used definition! A fool is someone who "shows himself, by words or actions, to be deficient in judgement, sense, or understanding; a stupid or thoughtless person." Not a dessert!

1: So, um... hmmm, what does this mean?... I know! The British are all fools!

2: No, no, no! Think about this now. If you say in your your heart that there is no God, just because you read the wrong definition, you're being foolish, acting like you don't have any sense.

1: Oops!
