A Peck of Gold

A Needy Superhero

I am the only one in the country, besides Patrick and Lorne Micheals, who still watches SNL. It's not that I have a rabid loyalty to the show, but it's the only thing on at 10:30 on a Saturday night. So, I watch.

Anyway, while watching Spiderman 2, I thought of a funny skit for them to do. Every time Spidy hears sirens, he swings off to save the day. But, what if he gets there, and the cops have it well under control?

Police officer: Um, hi Spiderman.
Spiderman: I heard the sirens! What's the emergency?
PO: Well, looks like this traffic light is out. I'm just directing the cars.
SM: Okay, I'll spin a web from the top there and-
PO: That's really not necessary, sir.
SM: Yeah, but somebody might-
PO: Really Spiderman, I've got it under control.
SM: Really?
PO: Yes.
SM: Well then. If you're sure. I mean, I could stand on the other-
PO: Honestly, it's fine.
SM: Alrightie then. Guess I'll just be going.... you're SURE about this?
PO: Spiderman, seriously dude. It's COOL.
SM: I'm just a swing away if you need me though- you know that, right?
PO: Yeah, yeah, we know.
SM: Okay, so I'll be seeing ya then... [reluctantly swings off]

PO: Sheesh. That guy has issues.

My spidy sense tells me that could be a very funny skit.
