ALIBABA (standing tall and strong)
SERVANT (approaches excitedly): Alibaba, Alibaba, how can I become as tall and strong as you are?
ALIBABA (rubbing chin): Hmmm, let me think…OK..go rub oil over your entire body every day for two weeks.
SERVANT: OK (walks off stage)
SERVANT (walks on stage crouched down bending knees): Alibaba, Alibaba..it didn't work…now I'm even shorter.
ALIBABA: Hmmm….let me think…go rub oil over your entire body for four weeks.
SERVANT: OK (walks off stage)
SERVANT (walks on stage crouched all the way down to floor-ankle level): Alibaba, Alibaba…now I am even shorter.
ALIBABA (rubbing chin): Hmmm….did you rub oil all over your entire body for four weeks?
SERVANT: Yes
ALIBABA: Hmmm…what kind of oil did you use?
SERVANT: Crisco
ALIBABA: Crisco? You Fool! That's not oil! That's shortening!!!
