Ted and Susan bump into each other at a wedding reception. Naturally, their conversation turns to the topic of dating.

DOWN WITH THE PHAT ICE
 Everyone knows a Mr. Kinks-one of those youth leaders or teachers who thinks he's in touch with the language and culture of the youth, but who is so far out of touch it's almost humorous. In this sketch, Mr. Kinks really thinks he's communicating with Cindy, but Cindy soon realizes she's not getting through to Mr. Kinks at all. This script works well with a combined audience of youth and adults as a lighthearted way for the adults to poke fun at themselves for failed attempts to connect with youth. It can also be used to open a more serious discussion on the difficulties of inter-generational communication..
