\nIt\u2019s MaxChaos!<\/p>\n(Director\u2019s note: MaxChaos is the first person to acknowledge that he is not a natural born entertainer nor a story teller. However, he does look a bit like Benet. He\u2019s seen Benet\u2019s routine a few times, and he has agreed to do a five minute skit as a fictitious character named Gordon Bennett! For his debut appearance he has stipulated that he should be allowed to carry a large print book on stage and actually read the story directly from the book. That way there is no need to memorise any lines!)<\/pre>\n
\n(Valiantly mimicking the tenor of BENET, and using the same introduction, though slightly stilted.)<\/em><\/p>\n
