Every Little Helps
INT. CHOCOLATE LOG FACTORY – DAY.
Two Employees glumly inspect their sales figures.
EMPLOYEE 1
Have you noticed that sales of chocolate logs are a bit, well, seasonal?
EMPLOYEE 2
Yes. Yes, I had noticed that. We seem to sell a lot in December, but then the rest of the year is empty and we end up having to throw quite a lot of chocolate logs away.
EMPLOYEE 1
Perhaps we could diversify and make some other kind of cake or confectionary item?
EMPLOYEE 2
But I only know how to make chocolate logs.
EMPLOYEE 1
Really? They’re just chocolate Swiss rolls, covered in chocolate. Are you sure you can’t adapt the recipe and make something else?
EMPLOYEE 2
No. It’s chocolate logs or nothing.
EMPLOYEE 1
But we’re going to go out of business.
EMPLOYEE 2
Maybe we can persuade people to buy chocolate logs at other times of the year?
EMPLOYEE 1
How? They are a completely Christmassy item. They are as Christmassy as crackers, baubles and tinsel.
They sit in silence for a moment.
EMPLOYEE 2
What about an Easter Chocolate Log?
EMPLOYEE 1
Brilliant!
Like most people I don’t have a clue where the chocolate rabbits fit into the crucifixion/resurrection scenario, but this is just a bit silly, isn’t it? However, I’m look forward to Father’s Day mince pies.
