Oi, you, what are you doing?
Seller
What d’you mean? I’m selling ice creams. Earning an honest shekel.
Reuben
But they haven’t even been invented yet.
Seller
Well, that Benjamin and Jeremiahs for you - always ahead of the game ... get your Locust and Wild Honey ices here. Prophet special!!!
Reuben
(cowering back) Don’t do that!
Seller
What?
Reuben
Shout in my ear
Seller
Well, don’t stand so close to me. Hey, that sounds like a good title for a song ... (begins humming) ... “don’t stand so, don’t stand so...”
Reuben
What are you doing now??
Seller
Sorry, just got transported for a minute.
Reuben
What a good idea! Look, where did you get this “prophet special” business from and who on earth is going to eat locusts and wild honey?
Seller
Everyone! They’re going like ... well, like hot unleavened bread.
Reuben
Locusts?!! ... and wild honey?!!!? That’s just gross.
Seller
No, it’s all the rage since that John bloke came out of the wilderness. Have you seen him. I mean he looks a bit weird with his animal skins and leather but he doesn’t half draw a crowd and, as my old mother used to say, where there’s people there’s profit. So ices it is!
