KI: Sore Thumb

F/X:RESTAURANT SOUNDS

WAITRESS:
Blackbean Pumpkin Soup?

DINER:
Yes, please.

F/X:BOWL OF SOUP PLACED ON TABLE

WAITRESS:
Enjoy.

DINER:
Excuse me, did you have your thumb in my soup?

WAITRESS:
No... ?

DINER:
You did! I saw you. You had your thumb in my soup! Why did you have your thumb in my soup?

WAITRESS:
Um... Look, I'm sorry. I've hurt my thumb. It's got an infection. The doctor said I had to keep it warm...

DINER:
What!? You've been keeping your infected thumb warm by sticking it in my soup?

WAITRESS:
I'm sorry...

DINER:
That's outrageous! I want to speak to the manager.

WAITRESS:
But if you complain I'll get the sack...

DINER:
(incencesed) Look, if you need to keep your thumb warm, why don't you just stick it up your arse?

WAITRESS:
I do when I'm in the kitchen.
