WITCH:  My broom is in the shop.

BIRD:  Oh… that’s unfortunate.

WITCH:  Yeah, for some inexplicable reason, the darn thing stalled out on me in mid flight.  I had to make an emergency landing yesterday.  I almost died.

BIRD:  So… are you riding a Shopvac now?

WITCH:  No, this is a vacuum cleaner, you idiot.

BIRD:  Your riding a vacuum cleaner and I’m the idiot?

WITCH:  Don’t mess with me, bird, I’ll turn you into a toad.

BIRD:  Again?

WITCH:  Again?  ( thinks ) Wait… I thought you looked familiar.   I did turn you into a toad. I turned you into a toad because you…

BIRD:  I stood you up on a date two years ago.  I used to be a six foot man.

WITCH:  A man with six feet?  Seems like I did you a favor.

BIRD:  You did not!  Anyway… you turned me into a toad because I stood you up.  And then about a year ago, you turned me into a bird because I stood you up again.

WITCH:  Exactly!  And now look at you, a goofy-ass bird flying aimlessly to nowhere.

BIRD:  How long will this current curse last?

WITCH:  It will last as long as you want it to last.

BIRD:  What does that mean?

WITCH:  It means you have the power to lift the curse.  All you have to do is go out with me on one date.

BIRD:  Go out with you on one date and the curse will be lifted?

WITCH:  Yes!

BIRD:  Go out where?

WITCH:  Take me to Popeye’s Chicken for a nice sit down meal and I’ll lift the curse.

BIRD:  I can’t go to Popeye’s Chicken… for reasons you have obviously overlooked.

WITCH:  Okay, well, then no deal, the curse remains indefinitely.  Your loss.

BIRD:  Okay, fine!  I was getting used to being a bird anyway.

WITCH:  Revenge is sweet.

BIRD:  Yep… especially when it involves sabotage, gravity and a broom.

WITCH:  What?

The bird flies off quickly.
