Duey:        Hi Huey!

Huey:        Hey, Duey.

Duey:        Yeah, Huey?

Huey:        Have you ever noticed that our names sound alike?

Duey:        What do you mean?

Huey:        I mean .. .  I am Huey . . .  and you are Duey. . . . Sound alike.

Floyd comes on stage

Floyd:        Hey guys how are you?

Huey:        Doin’ good. . . Don’t think we have met. . .  I am Huey, and this is my friend Duey.

Floyd:        Good to know you guys, my name’s Floyd.

Duey:        Don’t want you to go and take this the wrong way but . . . that there is kinda a strange name.

Floyd:        What is a strange name?

Duey:        Your name. . .  Sounds kinda strange . . . Floyd, a very different kinda name. Not at all a standard kinda name like Duey, or even Huey for that matter.

Huey:        I kinda have to agree with Duey on that Floyd. . . Floyd is way different for a name.

Floyd:        Well where I come from Floyd is a common name, everyone knows Floyd where I come from. . . No one ever likely heard of the name Huey . .  or Duey either.

Duey:        Are you serious? . .  Wow! . . . You must be like from way another part of town.

Huey:        Maybe outta town even maybe.

Duey:        Floyd! . . . Hmmmm, more I hear the name, it like kinda grows on you.

Huey:        You know you are flat out right Duey . .  Floyd is kinda one of those cool names. Except . . . there is a problem.

Floyd:        What’s wrong with the name Floyd now?

Huey:        Maybe not a biggee but . .  I mean our names are Huey and Duey . . . They kinda go together, know what I mean? . . I can’t see Floyd working real well with another name.

Duey:        Just hold on Huey, there’s . . . No that won’t work . .  But there’s always . .

Huey:        I know! . . . Android. . . Floyd and Android work good together!

Duey:        Yah but Android is the name of a phone, not so much the name of a guy.

Floyd:        I’m not sure why you guys figure a guy’s name needs to rhyme up with another guy’s name. . . .

Duey:        Well, so long as you are good with it so am I . . . But anyhow . . . I am so excited!

Huey:        About what?

Duey:        About the party!

Huey:        What party?

Duey:        You know, the big birthday party that everyone is talking about!

Floyd:        There’s a big party and everyone’s talking about it?

Huey:        Oh yeah Floyd!  A really big party! (thinks) Who is it for, anyway?

Duey:        How am I supposed to remember?

Huey:        Well, I thought you wanted to go!

Duey:        Well of course I want to go, but that doesn’t mean I have to know who the party is for!

Huey:        I guess you’re right!

Floyd:        Let me get this straight. . . . You two guys are excited about going to this here birthday party . .  but you don’t know whose birthday it is?

Huey:        Yep, that would be about it.

Duey excited:  Happy Birthday, what’s-his-name!  Yahoo!

Floyd:        Don’t you think it’s a little strange having a birthday party for someone that you don’t even know?

Duey:        What do you mean?  People do it all the time!

Floyd:        They do?

Duey:        Sure!  Look at Christmas – there is an occasion where tons of people all over the world get so busy with parties and presents and candies that they forget Christmas is actually Jesus’ birthday.
