Work Ethic

I defended this re-posted script originally from 2007 in my statement: What Time Is It? (Coats from the Lost and Found) We're back for round two of Work Ethic with Bill, who managed to make it past the union organizer and advance all the way to the woodpile. Bill, you can split these logs into firewood the traditional way, with an ax, or you may dip into your savings to purchase this chainsaw for the job, which reduces your chance of being able to afford the grand prize. What is your choice? I'm gonna go with the ax. All right! That's the kind of spirit we like to see here on Work Ethic. And as long as you drive your body to the utmost limits of exertion, there's a chance that you will complete your task slightly faster with the ax. You may proceed as soon as I flip the hourglass. Are you ready? Okay, Bill, get busy! (Bill starts swinging the ax, eliciting a cheer for each log he splits.) Only about half a minute left. It's going to be close. (He pushes himself to finish the job in the nick of time, resets the hourglass, and feints.) Oh oh! Looks like that decision to refuse water has come back to haunt you. (The host leans over the fallen contestant and gently slaps his cheeks.) Bill? Can you hear me? You may advance to the next round as you are or you may dip into your savings to purchase these performance enhancing drugs. Bill? Bill! (No response.) Oh well, don't be too disappointed, folks. He probably wouldn't have survived round three anyway. He's Catholic.
