        (The actor rushes onstage as if demons are following, looks around furtively, takes some papers out of a pocket and looks sadly)

Out out damned expiration date!  Why hast thou forsaken me oh coupons of my love!

           (Takes the papers and scrunches them, grasping them to chest)

I didn't realize they expired yesterday, on Halloween!  The horror, the horror!  No ghosts or dragons or Frankensteins of the deep can equal the horror.....of an expiring coupon!

So sad, so sad.....do not go quietly into this dark night!  Rage, rage against the slow delivery of new coupons delight!

           (Takes the coupons and drops them on the ground slowly, very slowly,
reverently)

For God's sake....and all of our sakes......

          (Now jumps on the coupons violently)

......make those expiration dates larger!

         (Exits laughing maniacally, another victim of expired couponitis)
