One camper is on stage, about ready to jump off. He counts down…1, 2, and before he gets to 3, another camper walks on stage.
Camper 2: “Hey, what are you doing?”
Camper 1: “Jumping off this cliff”.
Camper 2: “Why?!”
Camper 1: “Because I’m a reporter, and I haven’t got a story to write”.
Camper 2: “Oh, well can I jump with you?”
Camper 1: “Sure, why?”
Camper 2: “Because my dog just died”.
Both campers proceed to countdown to jump. As they approach ‘3’, a third camper walks on stage.
Camper 3: “Hey, what are you guys doing?”
Campers 1+2: “Jumping off this cliff”.
Camper 2: “Why?!”
Camper 1: “Because I’m a reporter, and I haven’t got a story to write”.
Camper 2: “And I’m jumping because my dog just died”.
Camper 3: “Oh, well can I jump with you guys?”
Camper 1: “Sure, why?”
Camper 2: “Because I don’t have anything to wear to the dance this week”.
All three campers proceed to countdown to jump. As they approach ‘3’, a fourth camper walks on stage, and the cycle continues. Once you get to the last camper, everyone will actually jump off stage. The only person remaining on stage is the original camper.
Camper 1: “Hmm, yes, now I have a story to write!”.
