Julia Louis- Dreyfus loses a bet
Julia Louis- Dreyfus starred in various comedic roles. She was always up for a laugh. She was used to being in silly situations. She was set up for a bet by her co-stars. She agreed that if she lost, she would be sent to a gunge tank. She was sure that she would not lose, but she may have been a bit over-confident. The bet was on the Emmy awards. If she won best actress she would escape the gunge. She thought that she would definitely be the winner.
When the award was announced, she discovered that she was
not the winner. She looked doubly embarrassed. She knew what the loss would
mean. She was not looking forward to it. No one really said anything at the
time.
Everything was set up on set the next day of taping. When she arrived on set, she was greeted by a big gunge tank. She turned around and the entire cast and crew were there behind her. They were cheering and laughing. She smiled an embarrassed smile.
She was lead into the tank. She reluctantly entered, sat down and crossed her legs. She took a deep breath. She pushed her chin against her neck. She shook her head, trying to hold her head down. The cast and crew then counted down. “Three…two…one.”
The release lever was pulled down. She screamed as pink gunge poured down upon her from above. It poured down over her head, all over her dark hair and then over her face. Everyone cheered and laughed. She began to laugh hysterically as the gunge continued to pour down all around her. It began to pour down her neck and over her shoulders and then down her body. More poured all over her legs. She was soon covered in gungy mess.
Finally the gunge came to a stop. Everyone gave her a round
of applause. She climbed out of the tank, dripping in gunge. She laughed and
shook her arms. “You are all fired,” she joked.
