b25 : souled skit sketch
Two people walk into financial institution - buyer has two certified checks, one for financial institution to pay off the loan, the second for the seller with whatever paltry sum is left after satisfying the first obligation.
Officious low-level financial officer scrutinizes various sacred parchments and paper icons, with the occasional pro-forma grumpy expression, stamping of seals and flourish of chisel or quill thrown in to celebrate the solemnity of the transaction. After five or ten minutes of this all parties have had their attention-spans severely depleted, and the caffeine-addicts, if any, are jonesing mightily for requisite nutriment. (Strangely, every such event I have participated in has had a minimum of one of these.)
Everyone departs most cordially and then, once out of sight of the others, runs, skips or pogo-sticks away to the frisby tournament, fishing hole, soap opera or other pressing social obligation from which they have been so traumatically torn.
