JUSTIN:
Polygamy is a lot like being married, but in 3D. Your senses pelted from all sides by a vast array of different emotions at once, with no hope of understanding any of them, whatever glasses you're wearing. It came to pass this week, that Osama Bin Laden may have been grassed up by his eldest, and most jealous, wife.

ATMOS:GAME SHOW

HOST:
Hello! And welcome back to 'Mr & Missusses'! The polygamous bonanza of knowledge of your spouse! And their spouse... es. Now, Osama is in the booth and he can't hear or see anything. There he is, bopping away to Judas Priest. And we have here two of his many wives, youngest and most beautiful Amal!

F/X:APPLAUSE, CHEERS, WOLF-WHISTLES

AMAL:
(GIGGLES) Thank you, Brian.

HOST:
... and the somewhat more... erm experienced and... robust Kairiah.

F/X:ONE PERSON APPLAUDING, THEN STOPS

KAIRIAH:
(BITTER) Hello, I spit on your grave Westerner.

HOST:
Anyway, so the first question is when is he most romantic?

AMAL:
Oh, he just soooooo romantic. When he buy me flowers and shower me with gifts. (BEAT) And shower me!

AUDIENCE:
Ahhhh!

KAIRIAH:
When he make me scrub pot and pan of all other wives.

F/X:TUMBLEWEED

HOST:
Oh. I said 'most romantic'...

KAIRIAH:
And I answer most romantic. Used to be shower, but now have (MOCKING) super-duper sexy new bride.

HOST:
O... kay. Second question is what is the most memorable thing he's ever done?

AMAL:
(LOVING) Oh. Easy. He move me in!

KAIRIAH:
Yes, easy. He move her in. (SPITS)

HOST:
And finally, for the big prize... (SUDDENLY MILITARY) Where does Osama usually hide out?

AMAL:
Well, Brian, obviously I cannot divulge that inform--

AUDIENCE:
Boo!

KAIRIAH:
Oh, purlease! He stay in compound in Abbottabad. You want postcode for Google map?

F/X:AUDIENCE CHEERS

END

This was great, just the right length, punchy and funny, and I can hear the actors voices as I'm reading it, which I'd say means you've pretty much done your job as a writer.

Cheers 3thingsinoneepisode!
