I've been having hot face all day with no one to complain to.

One of my classes today made me laugh so hard I almost started crying. I wrote out parts for two skits, both of which were restaurant situations where the manager has to deal with lots of hectic situations. They are "business english" students so I tried to have something to do with business, but mainly I wanted them to be funny. The parts were something like this:

Skit one
You are a manager of a hip new Japanese restaurant. You just got divorced from a marriage of 25 years and you are very stressed out.

You are going to propose to your boy/girlfriend tonight over a romantic dinner.

You are going to break up with your boy/girlfriend tonight. You hate sushi.

You are a prestigious food critic reviewing a new Japanese restaurant. You like to paint in your free time.

You are an irritating door to door salesman/woman who sells tacky "Asian" art to local businesses.

So, then I have the two groups plan out the situation. They come up with a dialogue, how these people interact, and how the manager deals with problems.

Because the pushy saleswoman interrupted a conversation between the manager and restaurant reviewer, she shares a table with the reviewer. They became interested in each other, planning to meet the following night to talk about art. Meanwhile, a very dramatic breakup happens- after the girl(who was actually a boy) proposes, the boyfriend admits he doesn't love her and was cheating on her with her brother. The manager comes out to comfort the downtrodden girl who's making a scene and guzzling champagne. Understanding of her breakup pain, he is conveniently very supportive and takes the opportunity to hit on her.

Skit two
You are the manager of an Italian Restaurant

You are a vegetarian on your first date with someone you met from an online dating service.

You are meeting your date for the first time in person. You have an anger management problem requiring medication.

It's your first day as a waiter in an Italian restaurant. You lied about your work experience on your job application. You have never worked a day in your life and are naturally accident-prone.

You are a cook in an Italian restaurant. You notice your ex-girlfriend on a date.

The waiter was really incompetent, making the angry online dater mad, causing the manager to have a serious talk with the waiter about the validity of his job application. Then the waiter goes to the kitchen after the cook has seen his ex to give him the order. The cook tells the waiter about her and puts worms in the couple's order of meat-free spaghetti. Because the waiter knows he's going to get fired anyway he thinks it's a great idea- he might as well have some fun while he can. After a few bites, the girl has an allergic reaction, then her date goes ballistic, all the while assuring her that he'd never hit her. After lots of yelling between the employees, couple, and manager, the girl admits the cook is her ex. The manager fires everyone.

I was really impressed with their acting skills, they were all hilarious!

And as a sidenote, last night I saw Twilight and all I have to say is...hot bods, you'll see why.
