Trial & Error

Right this is probably really silly. Infact I know it is. I have wrote it now though so on it goes. No need to be kind to me.

INT
A government Official is talking with the Prime Minister in his office.

Government official
Mr Prime minister! We now have the authorization to fingerprint children at birth. We also have a career detector. (Holds up a nasty metal device) It is still in trials.

Prime Minister
(Quizzicaly)Career detector Charles?

G/O
Yes Sir. We put a device on the newborns head. It gives them a short yet very sharp shock, but we will work on that later. It enables us to detect through their brain waves, what they will most likely become.

PM
Excellent Charles. Can we play with it now. Oh say we Can. Come on lets go to the nearest labour ward. It will be like life Play station. (PM claps his hands with glee) Do the babies jerk. Do they?(Does a jerking impression)

G/O
Well yes it is painful.

PM
Oh Goody Gum drops!

CUT TO THE PRIME MINISTER & THE G/O IN A SPECIAL CARE BABY UNIT.

G/O
We will do it here Sir, as all the mothers with full term babies have them by their beds. They may scratch & bite us if we shock their babies.

PM
Yes women can be animals when it comes to their offspring.

THEY PLACE THE DEVICE ON SEVERAL BABIES.

BABY 1…(Baby jerks)(The PM Giggles) G/O... The reading states Child Worker.

THE PM NODS

BABY 2…(Baby Jerks) (PM snorts with laughter)G/O... The reading says soldier

THE PM NODS.
Check again Charles, just to be sure.

BABY 3…(Baby Jerks)(PM has tears of laughter running down his cheeks)G/O... The reading says Scientist

THE PM NODS

BABY 4 …(Baby Jerks) The reading says Prime Minister

PM
(Stops laughing) Kill It.

Yes - good as far as it went but I see further potential.

Interesting concept.

A new meaning to the phrase Labour Exchange.

Fantastic works very, very well.

Would expect to see this on Blue Jam,

Primeminister as Caligula/Herod inspired.

Could be a good runner, what scientific device will they try next?

I liked this, the idea of the prime minister being a bit of cheeky giggler was nice and the jerking funny. Just a thought though: maybe they could keep re-testing one baby and have it's initial career as: Nobel Prize Winner and then as they keep re-testing the quality of job decreases?

Nice one.

i didnt get the kill it gag?
