Orange Juice - A very brief play in one act

Orange Juice

A very brief play in 1 act

Cast of characters:

Me (played by me)
A friend (played by a friend of mine)

Friend:  I sure am thirsty!

Me: Here, have some of this orange juice I'm drinking.  It's really good.

F: Oh, no.  I won't drink that orange juice.

M: Why not? You said you were thirsty.

F:  But that orange juice is clearly mislabeled.

M: What do you mean, mislabeled?

F:  What does it say right there? (pointing to the label)

M: (Reading from label) "Made from oranges imported from Bolivia."

F:  See?  That proves it!

M:  (Now thoroughly confused) What does that prove?

F:  There is no proof that those oranges came from Bolivia, nor indeed that there are any juice oranges from Bolivia.

M:  Well, OK, I can't trace this particular bottle, but I've eaten oranges in Bolivia.

F:  But those aren't oranges used for making juice, and there is no proof that that company ever imported oranges from Bolivia.

M:  Well, OK.  I don't know much about making orange juice, I guess.  But won't you try some anyway?

F:  Oh, no.  I would rather be thirsty than to drink a lie!
