Hula hoop

"The hula hoop!" he shouts.

What?" Lots turns his head in the direction of the shout, loses his bearing, rolls over a thick imported carpet and somersaults into a display of atomic windscreen washers. In the silence following the crash, a stainless steel hula hoop rolls slowly down the aisle, making weird noises as it bounces.

"What was that about?" Lots groans.

"Sorry," Ben says apologetically, which is the only way to say 'sorry' if you think about it. "I forgot to mention the hula hoop. Consider it done. Everything is alright now."

"You call this alright?" Lots groans.

1. Lots is mortally injured.
2. He is slightly bruised.
3. He's got a run in his stockings.
4. He spilled his Schlitz.
5. His dress is ruined. His girlfriend, who he borrowed it from, is gonna be furious.
6. Wait, Lots has a girlfriend?
7. Actually she's more of a girl acquaintance.
8. Never mind, follow the hula hoop.
9. Cut to commercial. Atomic windscreen washers are the latest something.
