As any humorist will tell you, humor is about juxtaposition. Amish people skiing? That can't be! Actually it can sort of be. Amish people doing stunts? That's ludicrous! Actually, thanks to Irishman — AARGH! that can be too, in our minds. The great Irishman sets the scene with characteristic Amish-sounding biblical names, Mordecai from Stephen King's Book of Esther and Ezekiel, from the Book of Really Expensive, Healthy-Sounding Bread From Whole Foods.

Remember, if you take any meetings on this script. We all get a percentage.
