Dan said, "We're doing a play where the main character is a centaur. Basically, we'll turn you into the horse portion of the costume. You'll have limited movement. When the actor walks, you'll walk but you'll be able to swish your tail or do other movements. We'll tell people we rigged up a complicated computerized machine to make the horse part make realistic movements. The audience will be thrilled that the horse part of the centaur moves."
Steve said, "Now I know you're joking. You want to turn me into a horses ass. I suppose you're going to promise to turn me back afterward?"
Dan said, "Unfortunately, no. The play will run for several days and we can't keep changing you back and forth. You'll have to be kept in wardrobe when you're not worn. After the play has run its course, we'll either change you back or change you into the next costume we need if your willing. Come by the theatre Thursday at 2:00 and we'll get you set up."
Steve thought he would show up just to find out what kind of joke this was.
