Play #6: The Wall


(A man is standing next to a wall.  His friend, passing by, stops for a moment to chat)

Friend:  “What are you doing here?”

Man: “Committing suicide.”

Friend: “How?  I don’t see how.  Are you starving yourself to death?”

Man: “No, I’m waiting for this wall to fall on me.”

Friend: “Why, is it condemned?”

Man: “I don’t think so.”

Friend: “Then how can you expect it to fall?”

Man:  “They all fall sometime.”
