This was our first acting class assignment where we had to make a character that our instructor bought, which meant the character had to have a purpose, a back story, and give us reason to watch.  My guy was a cool hand Luke meets Wild E Coyote character, with movements similar to that of goofy, or a cartoon Kramer.  Tale was never the smartest tool in the wagon, and he knew something was wrong with him so it caused him to rebel! he always had problems obeying the rules, he never understood child hood punishment, and has led a life of crime which eventually led him to a jail cell. The prison guards must have been pretty dumb because Tale here managed to escape (possible intro title sequence), and here's where the fun happens.  Now he attempts to live a successful life of crime, but Karma watches.  He shoplifts at the gas stations, but always winds up with non-alcoholic malted liquor jugs.  He picks pockets, and winds up with rolls of Canadian tire money. He cant even eat a hot dog without being outsmarted by a family of hungry rodents.  Everything he tries, fails.  He is doomed until the day he decides to straighten up his act.
