About
I’M HERBERT: comedy/drama
This sketch is about two old people sitting on a porch in a pair of rocking chairs and talking - Just talking, and of course they don’t know how funny they are. Each has had one or more previous marriages and perhaps a few flings, but they are hazy as to details. In fact, they don’t always know which one the other one is.
FOOTSTEPS OF DOVES: comedy
George and Harriet, who have been wed 25 years, come to a store to pick out a new bed or beds. Should they buy twin beds or a double? They don’t get much sales effort from the salesman. Into the discussion, uninvited, comes a young blonde, Jill, who wants a big bed because she is all alone.
