I like this idea of dramatizing life among the Extreme Skeptics™, I want to do some more of it.
Scene 1
The living room. Chris is watching “Hoarders” on tv; Terry enters.
Terry: Let’s go swimming?
Chris: Why?
Terry: “Why?” What do you mean why? For fun, that’s why.
Chris: What’s your evidence that swimming is fun?
Terry: What are you talking about?! I like swimming, that’s my “evidence.”
Chris: That’s just a feeling. Feelings are not evidence.
Terry: Oooooookay, see you later. [Exit carrying towel and bathing suit]
Scene 2
The living room. Chris is watching “Man vs Food” on tv; Terry enters.
Terry: You drank all the milk!
Chris: What’s your evidence for that?
Terry [shaking a plastic milk jug]: There are like three drops left and it was nearly full this morning! That’s my evidence.
Chris: Maybe you drank it all.
Terry: I didn’t.
Chris: What’s your evidence for that?
Terry: I don’t have any evidence! I just know I didn’t. I had a little on my cereal for breakfast and that’s it, and I was at work all day.
Chris: Maybe you had a blackout and don’t remember.
Terry: Or maybe you drank it all and didn’t bother to get more.
Chris: What’s your evidence for that?
Terry: That’s it – I’m moving out.
Curtain.
