I present to you Death of a Joke: A Play in One Act, based on a shocking true story.
DRAMATIS PERSONAE
DANIEL, a WISE GUY, who mayhap thinks he is some sort of comedian or something
TRENT, a CASHIER, thoroughly familiar with both TRACTORS and SUPPLIES
ACT I
Daytime, inside a Tractor Supply Company. DANIEL has just selected a dollar's worth of carriage bolts and a Diet Coke. He approaches the cash register.
TRENT: Wow, big spender today, huh?
DANIEL: Yep, sure am. I don't like to brag, but sometimes... [glances back and forth, gestures toward the Diet Coke]... I'll buy these six at a time.
TRENT: [pauses] So I guess you really like to drink them, then.
DANIEL: Well, they... er... come in six packs. [Takes receipt and leaves, dejected]
