ANNOUNCER:

Welcome to our "Year 2000 Miss Christmas Contest."  On this Christmas Eve, we have three lovely ladies competing for the title of Miss Spirit of Christmas 2000.  Tonight, we'll be deciding who best exemplifies the true spirit of Christmas.  Our lucky winner will receive her choice of four marvelous prizes.  First, there's the best selling book 101 Ways to Party Till You Puke.  Quite a novel gift idea.  Second, we have a string of 1,000 red and green laser lights guaranteed to fry your eyes.  You'll need sunglasses to look at your Christmas tree with this prize.  Third, an official Y2K Survival Kit complete with an assortment of seeds to plant your own crops (if you have time to plant them).  And last, but not least, a Bible.  This is a genuine, simulated leather bound King James version of the Bible with cheaters, so you can be the first to find Habakkuk when your Pastor preaches from there.

Now, without further delay, I'll introduce our contestants.  Miss World!

MS. WORLD: That's Ms. World.  Party hardy, and tattoos like no tomorrow!
ANNOUNCER: Miss Tinsel!
MISS TINSEL: My, I love these spotlights!
ANNOUNCER: And, Miss Christian!
MISS CHRISTIAN: Merry Christmas, everyone.
ANNOUNCER: Okay, ladies.  I'll be asking each of you four questions.  From your answers, you will be judged on personality, poise, and the best answer to become "Miss Spirit of Christmas 2000."  Are you ready?  Let's begin with our first question.  We'll start with Miss -- er -- Ms. World.  What do you like best about Christmas?
MS WORLD: I love the three "P" words:  Presents, parties and piercing!   My goal each year is to get more presents, go to more parties, and have more holes in my body than anyone I know.  And with my looks--no problem.  If a party's worth having it's worth inviting me.!
ANNOUNCER: Do you give any presents?
MS WORLD: (Quizzically)  Why?
ANNOUNCER: Fine.  Miss Tinsel, what do you like best about Christmas?
MISS TINSEL: What do I like best about Christmas?  The pretty lights, green ones, and red ones, big lights, small lights, icicle lights hung on my house; Christmas means lights.  This year my husband, Ralph, put up a light display as a tribute to "Y2K."  He has Santa Claus with a computer in his sack with a sleigh pulled by eight tiny computerized image reindeer.  And then Ralph has a big pole on the roof with a lighted ball on top, and the ball comes down the pole displaying Happy New Year.  And guess what?
ANNOUNCER: I don't know, but I have the feeling you're about to tell me.
MISS TINSEL: Ralph rigged the lights so when the ball reaches the bottom, a big giant, sign lights up saying "Happy 2000"! Then, all of a sudden the lights go poof!  All dark.  Then it all lights up again with Santa in his sleigh with a computer in his sack ...
ANNOUNCER: Now, Miss Christian, tell us about what you like best about Christmas.
MS. CHRISTIAN: I enjoy being able to tell my family and friends about Jesus.  I'm so thankful that God the Father sent His Son on this day as the Savior.  Without Jesus, there would be no way to cover our sins.
ANNOUNCER: Thank you, Miss Christian.  Our second question is:  What do you dislike about Christmas?  Ms. World.
MS. WORLD: Every year my sister asks me to go to church on Christmas Eve.  Do you know that's the absolute best party time.  I can't waste Christmas Eve.  I just tell her I'm going to my own church that night, "The Church of the Multiple Party" with Pastor Rock On.
ANNOUNCER: What do you dislike about Christmas, Miss Tinsel?
MISS TINSEL: What do I dislike about Christmas?  The electric bill.  Why every year when Ralph plugs in our light display, the president of Niagara Mohawk calls to personally thank us.  One year, we blacked out half the City of Syracuse from a power overload.
ANNOUNCER: And, Miss Christian.  What do you dislike about Christmas?
MS. CHRISTIAN: I dislike anything that takes the focus off of Jesus.  People worrying about presents, how commercial businesses have made Christmas, and especially how Santa Claus has become the center of attention.
ANNOUNCER: We'll continue with our contest right after we pause for a word from our sponsor. We're rich!
PERFECT: And she is Punky but not in name only.
COMMERCIAL:

Are you tired of being powerless in governmental decisions?  Of having no say in the issues of our time?  Well, Rent-a-Senator can solve this problem.  For only $19.99 Rent-a-Senator will provide you with your own personal senator, who will tell you he will vote any way you want on any issue.  As a free bonus, Rent-a-Senator will send you one of the senator-bounced checks in the Bank of the House of Representatives for your very own keepsake.  Also included is a statue for your dashboard of President Clinton.

Now, back to our exciting contest.

ANNOUNCER: Ms. World, what was your most memorable Christmas?
MS. WORLD: That's a toughee, with all the presents, parties, and piercing, I mean when you're as gorgeous as me, so many choices. But I'd have to say there was one party in particular that stands out.  The music was blasting and at least 20 cool dudes were trying to get a whirl on my bike with me.  But that's kind of all I remember of that party.  I know it was great, though, because I was sick for four days after!  I've never been sick that long after a party.  It usually only two days that I feel like puke.  Wow, that party must have been great!  Then there was the time I woke up with a tattoo on my ...
ANNOUNCER:

(Interrupting) Oh, that's enough.  Remember, this is a family show.

Miss Tinsel, what was your most memorable Christmas?

MISS TINSEL: What was my most memorable Christmas?  Well, one year, Ralph, that's my husband, used 150,000 tiny little lights for our Christmas display.  I know because I counted every light for Ralph, you know, like 1 light, 2 lights, 3 lights or something.  The display had Santa crossing the Delaware River with George Washington on Christmas Eve.  Well, when Ralph plugged in the display, I thought smelled this smoky smell and guess what?
ANNOUNCER: I don't know, but I'm sure you're about to tell us.
MISS TINSEL: Well, George and Santa's boat caught on fire -- right there on top of our roof.  The fire engines, with all their flashing lights, came to our house that Christmas.  Oh, it was just so beautiful.  Flashing lights and electrical sparks flashing all over the sky.  Why, all the neighbors came out to see Ralph's display that year.
ANNOUNCER: And, Miss Christian, what was your most memorable Christmas?
MISS CHRISTIAN: My most memorable Christmas occurred two years ago.  My father accepted my invitation to go to church with me.  At the end of the service, during our invitation, my father came forward and accepted Christ as his Savior.  To know for sure that my father will be in heaven--nothing can top that!
ANNOUNCER: Now, we are down to our final question, ladies.   Miss World, what is the true meaning of Christmas to you?
MS. WORLD: Presents, presents, presents!   That's the true meaning of Christmas-- diamonds, furs, cars -- the more the merry, I say.  When people are loved, like me, they are just overwhelmed with presents.  You only live once, so grab all the presents you can.  That's my motto.
ANNOUNCER: Miss Tinsel, what's the true meaning of Christmas to you?
MS. TINSEL: What's the true meaning of Christmas to me?  Christmas means lights.  I could ask Miss Christian to be sure, but I believe they even had some kind of light way back then at the very first Christmas, a bright star or something.  But today, we have bigger, more flashy artificial lights, like the people really want.  Why each Christmas, Ralph brings more and more artificial lights to our neighborhood.  Lights are where it's at.
ANNOUNCER: Well, that certainly was an enlightening answer.  Now, Miss Christian, what do you think the true meaning of Christmas is?
MISS CHRISTIAN: I believe Christmas' true meaning lies in the present and the light.  The present is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.  It is the greatest gift anyone can receive, but it must be accepted.  Once the gift is accepted, Jesus becomes our light, the only true light in this world.  Jesus shows us how to live our lives.  The true meaning of Christmas lies in the present and the light.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies, thank you for your answers tonight.  While the judges are tallying the scores, we'll break for some messages.
COMMERCIAL:

Stuff's Veterinary & Taxidermy Services where their motto is "We cure them dead or alive.

This here's my dog.  His name is dog.  Why everybody knows his name  When we walked down the street, people would say, "Look, at that there dog. Is he ugly."  Well, one day he got sick.  I knowed he was sick when he barfed up his food and he would not eat it.  For $19.95 plus shipping and handling, Stuff's Veterinary & Taxidermy Services fixed him up real good.

  1. He don't bark or chase cars no more.
  2. And I save on my dog food bill cause he don't eat much no more.  Why, come to think of it, he don't eat nothin' no more.

I had this here dog bone for nigh on a month now.  I wondered how they taste?  (Biting into bone).  That's not all, you don't have to give Dog baths no more cause he don't chase skunks.  Never could figure out who stunk, me or Dog (sniff underarm).

I highly recommend Stuff's Veterinary & Taxidermy Services.  They sure cured up Dog.  Thank you.
