This two-person comedy starring Elwon Bakly and Fallon Hanson is centered around everyday events that bring us laughter and joy, from jokes to feeling nervous to life in general. "We laugh at life," says the play writer, J. Scott Bronson, "We out to anyway. And if we do, it's not such a stretch to laugh about death as well. After all, it is just another part of life."

Simeons' manuscript entitled "Pounds & Inches A New Approach To Obesity" the HCG Program includes a 500 calorie diet limiting food selections down to 26 liquids, fruits, vegetables, and breads; eliminating dairy completely. Along with the diet, daily injections of the HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone are self administered. No exercise necessary. Derived from the urine of pregnant woman, the HCG hormone is hypothesized to release stored fat into the blood stream so it can be utilized. Pregnant woman produce this hormone to assist them in nourishing their growing fetus sufficiently. In dieters, Simeons suggests the hormone can be injected in men and woman to assist them in utilizing fat stores as energy. The idea is that by sticking to the 500 calorie diet as outlined, the body will turn to the circulating fat to use as energy, making up for the caloric deficit.
