Fill out the pledge forms being handed out to you and drop them in the boat in the back.

[Editor’s note: for a longer skit, you could add some more ‘clownish’ options in addition to the various cruise lines – for instance, ‘The Good Ship Lollipop’ – the clown pulls out a giant lollipop, about to lick it, when the Narrator says ‘No, not this one.’ – clown reacts, sadly puts away the lollipop, etc.]
