Putting The X Into Xmas
(I work at a small town airport where, every year, we have a small talent contest. Although I do usually work at the flights desk, I am on talent duty, announcing all contestants. The prize for winning the contest is a flight to a destination of your choice within Australia.)
Me: “Thank you to Waldo the Wizard for showing us his amazing magic tricks. Now, for our last act, we have The Anonymous Singer!”
(Claps of applause.)
Anonymous Singer: *pompous* “Thank you very much. I will be singing my own person version of Jingle Bells.”
(The anonymous singer proceeds to sing a very crude and racist version of ‘Jingle Bells’, leaving the audience and I in stunned silence.)
Anonymous Singer: “Well? I demand my prize!”
Me: “I’m sorry; I am disqualifying you for the use crude language.”
Anonymous Singer: “I demand a flight to New York to show off my talent!”
Me: “I cannot allow you to be in this airport. I must ask you to leave.”
(He begins to sing the song again when an audience member stops him.)
Audience Member: “Right, you’re coming with me!”
(The audience member is about 6 foot, and looks like a body builder. He literally picks up the anonymous singer and carries her away.)
Anonymous Singer: *screaming* “I’m never coming back! You will never hear my talented voice ever again!”
Me: “Thank God for that!”
