This one is more skit-like, in that it actually is a skit.[two birds sit on a telephone wire above a road]
Bird One: What’s wrong?
Bird Two: My wings seem to be broken.
Bird One: Broken?
Bird Two: Yes, broken. Every time I try to fly I get a horrible pain.
Bird One: In your wings?
Bird Two: No, in my head. Thrice I have jumped off this wire and tried flapping my wings, and thrice my wings have failed, sending me head first into the pavement.
Bird One: Oh, dreadful. But what about your wings?
Bird Two: I can’t even feel them.
Bird One: Oh, then surely they must be broken.
Bird Two: How do you know?
Bird One: Because when things break you can’t feel them.
Bird Two: Is that so?
Bird One: That’s what I’ve always heard.
Bird Two: But you’ve never broken anything.
Bird One: True.
Bird Two: So how can you be sure?
Bird One: Because I’ve never heard otherwise, and it seems logical enough.
Bird Two: Have you ever been unable to feel your wings?
Bird One: Well, yes. Sometimes in the morning, when I’ve slept on them the wrong way. But then they’re just asleep.
Bird Two: So what if my wings are not broken, but asleep?
Bird One: I imagine if they were asleep you would still be able to use them, even if you couldn’t feel them.
Bird Two: Then I should perform a test: if I can fly off this wire then my wings are asleep, and if I try to fly and I can’t then my wings are broken.
Bird One: Yes, sounds perfect.
Bird Two: Ok, here I go.
[Bird Two tries flying off of wire, wings don't work]
Bird Two: Shit!
[Bird Two lands head first on road]
Bird One: So they must be broken.
Bird Two: Yeah. Good call.
