Synopsis: Irukandji Diving
Three couples are all trying to rid themselves of their significant others - before they are the ones traded in for 20-year-olds. All of their first efforts fail: Chernobyl Apples, Tainted Tap Water, and a blind horse on a cliff. Each one finds an ad for an Australian Tour Company that specializes in Irukandji Diving. (Irukandji are extremely venomous jellyfish.) After upping their significant others life insurance policies they each hope this tour will release them from their unfulfilling relationships.
Excerpt: Irukandji Diving
A cheerful wife walks up to her husband as he returns home from a day at the office and happily announces “Honey, pack your bags!”
The husband looks at her bewildered and asks “Where are we going?”
The wife’s grin grows even larger, to Cheshire Cat proportions as she happily announces “I don’t care where you go. I just won the lottery and I want you out!”
The announcer’s voice plays over the image of the shocked husband on the screen.
“Do you wish you could say this to your spouse? Are you unhappy in your relationship? Has your husband or wife asked you for a divorce? Do you wish you could divorce your evil despot but your current financial situation keeps you from acting on it? Don’t wish any longer. Contact the Irukandji Diving Tour Company. Does your loved one have life insurance? If yes we can help you find a light at the end of your tunnel easier than you can win the lottery. Please call 555-555-5555 for more information.”
