The Mike and George skit
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: Tree Hugger - The Rugburns
Topic: A Mike and George Moment
Hi! George and I have been brainstorming on a new topic to write about. The only thing that has come up so far is a skit. I tried to post it last night but by the time I was done goofing off the internet connection went down. This is the second time I will type it up. It seems less funny somehow. Hey, speaking of wasting time on the internet, check out a device called Stumble! It is a downloadable device for your web browser. I am not sure it works on Internet Explorer but it works on Firefox, which is what I use. Anyway, the object is to help you find new sites of interest. You pick what you like to see or what you are interested in, it can be serious or fun; the options are able to be customized later if you need to change it. Then all you have to do is click the Stumble option and it takes you to a random site that matches one of your selected interests, if that site is not what you wanted click Stumble again. I love Stumble and I have found some great sites with it, some of them might end up on my links page soon.

"Mike! Can we get on with this?"

You're right George, sorry. Without further delay, our skit:


Hey George!

"Hey Mike, where is my food?"

Here you go. Hey I read some interesting fish facts last night on the internet. Did you know fish only have a 3 second memory?

"What? That's outrageous! Those are lies! It's not every fish, just goldfish! Where did you read that? What are there credentials, where is there proof?"

I don't know George. It seemed to imply that all fish have a short memory, not just goldfish.

"Hey Mike! Why are you talking about goldfish? How about giving me some food?"

George?

"What?"

You are eating the food right now..... I am not giving you more food.

"Oh wait you're right! I am eating! So what's new?"

Uh.... well, we were discussing short term memory in fish. You started yelling at me and then you asked for food.

"What was I yelling about? What did you say about fish memory?"

I was saying that, according to the internet, fish only remember things for 3 seconds.

"That is outrageous! I am outraged! Who said this?? Unbelievable!"

Yeah, can you believe it?

"Believe what? Hey, when did you get home? Are you going to feed me?"


THE END


-George and I would like to thank you for your polite applause. We would also like to say that even though we helped perpetuate this myth we are not sure the validity of it. We have found just as many sites refute the 3 second memory myth as those that support it. Actually, we have found more that refute it. Besides, George remembers a lot, today he reminded me to take my lunch to school and to turn off the coffee maker before I left. I would say he is an amazing fish.

"Thanks Mike! You aren't too horrible yourself. And for a human you are almost average!"

Thanks George..... You know how to make a guy feel good….
