Adopting smoothest, suavest voice for the traditional cabin announcement...
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board Flight 666. Unfortunately I've just received word from air traffic control at Cairo that the airport has closed early for Christmas. I'm sorry to say that we have been diverted to our original destination of Ibiza, the world's clubbing destination of choice. Brian Air will of course accommodate you in one of its luxury hotels on the island while we transfer you back to Cairo. We'll be cruising this evening at a height of 20,000 cubits. The weather in Ibizia is pleasantly warm at 88 degrees fahrenheit, with a gentle south-westerly wind. I'll now leave you in the capable hands [voice falters] of Miss Besom, your flight attendant. We know you have a choice, so thank you for flying with Brian Air.

As she drives back to Herod's palace, the Henchman hands her knife to the baby to play with.
You know, you've awoken these strange feelings within me. My friends used to talk about this back in school. While I was out behind the bikesheds, kneecapping teachers, they'd be talking about boyfriends and babies.
I think I...
Oh, My God!

In Bethlehem, meanwhile, Joseph has just returned to the stable.
Looks like Mary's gone. Well, at least she took the brat as well as Jesus. Half expected her to dump that nasty little Lavinia on me.
What's this? A note on the table? Let's see:
"DEAR JOSEPH,
HAVE GONE AHEAD, AS PER PLAN. GOT EVERYTHING, BAGS AND CARD INCLUDED. YOUR CARD.
LOTS OF SERENE LOVE,
YOUR DEAR BVM"
"Card"? I wonder what she could mean by...
![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
My AMERICAN EXPRESS!
Joseph sprints from the stable to the airport. Buys concorde ticket to Cairo.
My dear wife will be so pleased with me for sparing no expense in insuring that I'll be at her side soon. And I will be so pleased when I have that credit card safely back in my wallet.
Joseph is soon reclining in a luxurious concorde seat, dreaming of pyramids. And blissfully unaware that his wife is on her way to Ibiza.
With another man.

As Joe is passed out, Angel 6 has a nice natter with Sheep 3.
Well, Sheepie-baa, the Play is winding down to an end here (do you think we'll make it to eight pages again?), and soon we'll all go our separate ways.
I've been thinking -- you are a sheep of uncommon valor. (Nice work there with the Evil Henchperson!) It occurred to me that, perhaps, instead of going back to the hillside with all those silly gits in teatowels, you might instead like to sign on with the Heavenly Host. We could use a brave and woolly mascot like yourself. And you'd get unlimited eggnog.
What d'you think?

I beg your pardon? It DOES have double rum in it.
And I'm sure that you could obtain still more from the flight attendant. The Concorde is, after all, entirely First Class.

I'm waiting for the rest of the Heavenly Host to show up so we can do our prize-winning medley of Christmas carols (as arranged by David Willcocks, of course -- the HH is not only Anglican in its liturgical and musical outlook, but as traditional as all get-out).
Pours Sheep 3 another bucket of high-test eggnog.
