   >>>> deeds like help the neighbourhood kid deliver the most papers in the   
   >>>> paperboy contest (since he doesn't have a dad, he looks up to them).   
   >>>>   
   >>>> A funny segment will be the guys chasing after the gorilla all over   
   >>>> town, to the tune of some zany music.  This will be filmed at high-speed   
   >>>> for maximum humour.  Imagine these guys chasing a gorilla through a   
   >>>> fancy restaurant, or hotel lobby at HIGH SPEED!  Some funny things that   
   >>>> might happen: a fat lady faints and a waiter runs over to fan her with a   
   >>>> stack of menus; a sophisticated older man wearing a monocle that pops   
   >>>> off when he sees the zany sight; the chef in the kitchen cutting onions   
   >>>> and crying (unrelated gag).  Do you think this is a good idea for a   
   >>>> show, or what?

   >>>> Instead of being poignant, it will just be cute and wacky.  Sometimes

   >>>> when they're gone, her dress is missing.  There will be only veiled

   >>>> staying at a haunted mansion.  Another idea is that won of the guys gets   
   >>>> hit on the head and gets a case of amnesia, and the other guys fool him   
   >>>> into believing that he's their butler.
