Charity Auction, 3

AUCTIONEER: Thank you for coming to our charity auction tonight.

AUCTIONEER looks out into the audience and sees that it is made up entirely of crows.

AUCTIONEER: Our first item up for auction are these fine Italian strawberries, flown in directly from Spain!

AUCTIONEER holds up a dripping bucket of strawberries. All the crows simultaneously spread their wings.

AUCTIONEER: Going twice, sold! To all those crows!

AUCTIONEER nervously shoves the strawberries down his throat as quickly as possible.

AUCTIONEER: Is anybody out there?
CROW 1: Caw!
AUCTIONEER: Our next item up for auction is the very podium behind which I am standing!

AUCTIONEER does not realize he is not standing behind a podium. He loosens his belt and lets his pants fall around his ankles. MAN 1 bursts into the room.

MAN 1: If we don't get a podium out here NOW, we're all doomed!
AUCTIONEER: I'm afraid you'll have to bid like everyone else. See?

AUCTIONEER picks up a table and hurls it into the audience. The crows scatter.

AUCTIONEER: Our next item up for auction is this crow food!

AUCTIONEER chops off his hand with a battle axe. MAN 1 dies of a pulmonary embolism.
