The ASBO Kid

The ASBO Kid.

Open a street that is overrun with youngsters in hoodies and tracksuits. They are simply standing around, not doing anything in particular. A group of anxious mothers look on.

MOTHER 1

What can we do? Who can stop this and get the kids back on the right track?

A mother points down the street.

MOTHER 2

Look!

MOTHER 3

Can it be?

MOTHER 1

It… it's the ASBO Kid. He'll save us.

Cut to the ASBO Kid riding very slowly through the street. The youngsters look bemused, the mothers expectant. He doesn't actually do anything but tip his hat occasionally. He notices a kid drinking from a bottle of cider, and in one movement shoots it from the kid's lips. He does a little flourish with his gun and puts it away, never breaking stride. He eventually passes the group of mothers. He tips his hat to them.

ASBO Kid (old West accent)

Just passin' through, Ma'am.

He trots of into the distance leaving the scene exactly as he entered it. The mothers look crestfallen.

"He trots of into the distance leaving the scene exactly as he entered it. The mothers look crestfallen"... So what was the point of the Asbo-kid shooting the bottle of cider!

Displaying his skill with a gun.

no

Sorry, is this going anywhere?

Just trying to help you out pal. In future I'll keep away.

no

Yeah, that's really a help Lime!

Sorry, it's just the 'no' bit threw me a little - what, no?

In some countries the word no can in fact aid in helpful restoration, not to mention avoiding the obligatory wet slap!

Not if you don't make clear what you're saying no to.

Do I have to explain again?

Yes, what are you saying no to?

Okay, maybe I didnt make it so clear to you what I meant when I used the word no. I was in fact referring to your answer with regards to the asbo-Kid shooting at a youth before riding off and doing absolutely nothing else. In my opinion there was no point to the piece. The piece, it was pointless, see?

Right, got you now.

I'm with you Balf - it's funny. Basically a modern version of:

"It… it's Marshall Dillon. He'll save us!"

Then he shoots a bottle from a 'baddie's' lips. Does nothing else and rides off to the bemusement of the townsfolk.

Nice one!
