It's a Matter of Balance
ANDY: Hi, Barn.
BARNEY: Oh, hi Ange.
ANDY: What's that?
BARNEY: It's a unicycle. I bought it at the auction over at old Elmer Raddiker's place.
ANDY: You're pretty good. How do stay up on that thing?
BARNEY: If I wasn't holding on to this beginner bar over my head, I'd be on the floor in a wisp of a second.
ANDY: I guess that's right. But how do you get down?
BARNEY: That's where you come in. Come here and hold on while I dismount.
ANDY: Ok. It's a good thing I got here when I did. I was going to Floyd's for a hair cut.
BARNEY: That's ok. Go ahead. I'll put old Elmer here away until lunch.
ANDY: You're sure now? I don't want to come in here and see you sprawled out all over the
floor.
BARNEY: Ok, 'bye.
ANDY: Yeah, Barn. See ya.
BARNEY: I've got it. Put two chairs out with Elmer in the middle. Then I can get on, grab the bar, practice and get off. I won't need Andy or anybody else. Oh, God. The chair legs are slipping. I'm doing the splits awful bad. Help, I'm going over. Ouch, groan, ohhhh...
[Later.]
ANDY: Hi, Barn.
BARNEY: Oh, hi Ange.
ANDY: What are you doing in that cell?
BARNEY: I locked myself in.
ANDY: You didn't hurt yourself, did you?
BARNEY: Let me out Ange. I've got some paperwork to do.
