EXT. A GARDEN, CIRCA 1680

A BEWIGGED SCIENTIST IS SAT BENEATH AN APPLE TREE, WRITING IN A NOTEBOOK. HE TAKES OFF THE WIG TO MOP HIS BROW, AND AS HE DOES SO, AN APPLE FALLS AND HITS HIM ON THE HEAD.

INT. AUDITORIUM.

THE BEWIGGED SCIENTIST IS STANDING AT A LECTERN.

SCIENTIST
...and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I discovered concussion.

END.

I lol'd :D

Cheers guys. Nice variant danny.

Works well.
Made me laugh.
