See-sawing, the women engaged in dialogue

See-sawing, the women engaged in dialogue. Two women on the see-saw, chatting about Dr. Phil or animal dissection. Dr. Phil had some stand-up comic telling jokes about fire engines.

When the see-saw went down, common sense said it ought to go up again. The more the women argued, though, the more it negated science.

The audience chimed in, “What’s wrong with fire engines?”

Something like that might unhinge a failing comedian. “They didn’t get the jokes,” he said to himself, “The wordplay. It all takes practice.”

Backstage, the two women sat, not rising or falling. Instincts tell us the see-sawing women happen to be correct about one thing -- when gravity isn’t real, all we have is broad comedy, a Youtube video nobody thought to view.
