Comments appreciated.
Spambot MIKE, PENNY and SPAMBOT are sitting at a table in a cafe
MIKE
Really, um, Penny. You're not suggesting that we should just do away with Christmas all together?
PENNY
But it is so commercialised. Just look at this place, heaving with shoppers desperate to spend their money.
MIKE
And we have had to share a table. So it's not all bad.
SPAMBOT
Designer furniture at discount prices at tablesandchairs.com
PENNY
Smooth talker, arn't you? I'm just saying Why can't we get back to the true meaning of Christmas?
MIKE
Which is?
PENNY
Just getting together with your family. Spending time together.
MIKE
Phew. For a moment there I thought you were going to mention Jesus or something.
PENNY
Well, the religious aspect is important to some people, but not others. I think people are entitled to celebrate Christmas whatever they believe. I take it that you are not into all that then Mike.
MIKE
Not really. I usually spend Christmas with my parents and I go to Midnight Mass with them on Christmas Eve but even for them I think it's more habit than anything else.
PENNY
Well, there you. You spend Christmas with your family, that is my point.
MIKE
I suppose.
PENNY
It's just not all about spending money and buying presents.
SPAMBOT
Stuck for last minute gift ideas? Grab are bargain at prezzie.com.
MIKE
So what are all those bags then?
PENNY
Well, buying presents is part of it but not the be all and end all.
MIKE
So, you will be spending Christmas with your family?
PENNY
I'm going round for my dinner, yes. Someone has to keep an eye on Dad. Watch he doesn't have too many mince pies.
SPAMBOT
For all the latest designer watches visit fakerolex.com
MIKE
And after dinner?
PENNY
Full bellies and the Queen's speech if past years are anything to go buy.
SPAMBOT
musicshop.com has all the latest CD releases. Susan Boyle, RATM and Queen at discount prices.
MIKE
It will be the same at my house I suppose. Dad complaining that there is nothing on telly and Mum saying 'come and help me with the washing up then.' It's the same every year.
PENNY
Why don't you help with the washing up?
MIKE
Don't you start!
PENNY
It's nice you still go round though. that is the point that I'm making.
MIKE
Well I guess my family is important to me.
SPAMBOT
Stay harder, longer.
MIKE
Eh?
SPAMBOT
Viagra at wholesale prices at internetchemist.com.
MIKE
I said important, not impotent!
PENNY
Oh well, I suppose I'd better be getting along. Nice meeting you Mike.
MIKE
Here, (handing over a scrap of paper) my mobile number, in case you, um, fancy meeting up again
PENNY
Oh! Thanks. Yes, I'll give you a call some time. Well, bye Mike, bye, er. I'm sorry I didn't catch your friend's name.
MIKE
I thought he was with you.
SPAMBOT

I thought he was with you.
Really simple line.
Really made me laugh.
Funny. You could go on. Have the Spambot stay put and write short bits for other unsuspecting characters.
Maybe.
Smile.
