A comedy of repetitions
Chris is always a loser. He fails all the time.
He gets $25 dollars to buy his leather jacket, but it is more expensive. He must save his money in his piggy bank.
When he can buy his jacket, the discount is finished… it is $100 dollars…! He fails again. He is both disappointed and angry.
At the end, he both succeeds and fails. When he buys his jacket, it is too hot and he faints in the street!

Chris’s solutions
He wants to work and find a job in … :
– a shoe shop. He wants to be a security guard to protect the shop. He can’t because he is too young, too skinny and short.
– a barber’s. The boss wants Chris to kill the competition. He wants Chris to burn the barber’s with matches.
– a grocer’s. He wants to put the groceries in the bags.
Groceries = fruit, veggies, … .
-> Chris fails to get a job. He is a loser.
