great skit Those guys were brilliant. It's funny how little text you need from many of them to bring them right back to you.
"This is and ex-parrot!"
Several years back, in our Christmas musical at my church, the choir was doing a production that involved a Christmas shopping rush scene in a department store, and I played the part of a hapless and harried shopper looking for the return department. The director asked me what I had in mind for a prop as I was trying desperately to find the return department. I told him I had it figured out and would take care of it. So I went to a hobby shop and a pet store to get my props and at the dress rehearsal for the big scene with an empty bird cage in one hand and a big “dead” parrot in my other hand.
