Dear all; first sketch I've posted. Yes - a bit long, p'raps; my thinking is the absurdity of verbal PSS may take a while to sink in on radio? Thanks for any comments and criticism!

ANDY:Right, you can go first.
BARRYkay; I'm saying scissors.
A:You're going scissors. I'll go… stone.
B:Right. Well, you win that one.
Ah, yeah. You go again.
Baper.
Acissors.
B:You win.
A:Yep.
B:Nice. Okay, stone.
Aaper.
B:God. You're - you're good at this.
A:I've got a system.
Bh, I see.
A:Yeah.
B:You want to go first?
Akay, er – scissors.
Bh, well, paper.
A:I said scissors, you said paper; I win that one.
Bamn. That's – I don't know how you do that.
Aractice makes perfect. Stone.
Btone.
Ah, draw.
B:Hmm.
A:Barry?
B:Yeah?
Ao you think it would be better to play this game in some other way?
B:What?
A:Well, we're just saying "scissors", "paper" and "stone" in turns. I can't help feeling that one of us is being advantaged somehow.
B:I don't see how it could be improved.
A:What if we made some sort of gesture which designated our choice between scissors, paper and stone?
B:How?
A:We could use our hands to roughly mimic the shapes simultaneously.
B:Works in theory, but you've missed a trick here.
A:How do you mean?
B:We don't have hands; we're just disembodied voices.
A:Ah.
FIN.
