NJ: World Population

WORLD POPULATION

COMMENTATOR:
Nearly there now!

FX: WOMAN SCREAMING

COMMENTATOR:
Here it comes...

FX: WOMAN SCREAMS EVEN LOUDER

FX: BABY STARTS CRYING

COMMENTATOR:
Yes - that's it! The world population has now reached seven billion!

FX: SOUNDS OF CELEBRATION

COMMENTATOR:
I'm going to try and catch a quick word with the mother! (PAUSE) Excuse me ma'am, can I ask how you feel after that experience?

WOMAN:
Very sore...and very exhausted!

COMMENTATOR:
Well that serves you right for not having a caesarean!

FX: SOUNDS OF SCREAMING

COMMENTATOR:
Oh, hang on...the doctor's dead! The doctor has just dropped dead! Oh my...do you realise what that means?

WOMAN:
That the world population's gone back down to 6,999,999,999?

COMMENTATOR:
Well, yes...if you want to be pedantic about it! I was just going to say; it means we've got an anti-climax on our hands!

Nice idea. The doctor dropping dead is a bit out of nowhere though. If it had been as a result of something previous I think it would have worked better.
