Poker
KEVIN: (Sneezes) Oh, sorry Poo fans. I’d advise you to get well away from your radios as I’ve got a bit of a cold. I caught it in the last adventure and I don’t seem to be able to sha.. (Sneezes), shake it. But in the best tradition of radio, the show must go on… (Kevin sneezes again)
DR POO: Kevin, do you have to do that.
KEVIN: I can’t help it Doctor. I’ve got a co…
DR POO: Quick Dana, stick your finger under his nose. There that’s it.
KEVIN: Ahh choo!
DANA: Oooo!
DR POO: Don’t shake it on me.
DENIS: Reow.
DR POO: Don’t wipe it on the cat. Use his denim handkerchief.
DENIS: Meow.
DR POO: She’ll wash it out for you afterwards, Denis. Now come on Dana, quit stalling and deal the cards.
DANA: Five for me, five for Denis and twelve for you, Doctor. Are you sure this is how you play poker?
DR POO: Well Dana, it’s only fair that I as the more experienced player should have a seven card handicap.
DANA: Oh, I don’t want to take advantage of you, Doctor.
DR POO: That’s all right Dana. It’s not whether you win or lose that’s important. It’s how you play the game. Now show me what you’ve got.
DANA: O I’ve only got these four aces.
DR POO: They’re no good to you Dana, they’re all different colours. I’ll take them.
DANA: Thank you.
DR POO: Now, what do you bet Dana?
DANA: Twenty dollars.
DR POO: Good and I’ll bet thirty matchsticks.
DANA: What does that mean Doctor?
KEVIN: Well Poo fans, if you get twenty percent of that, you are much too smart to listen to Dr ah ah ah choo Poo-oo!
