A couple live and work in a caveman theme-park, where speaking is an instantly punishable offence.  A born loser attends a self-help seminar where he is encouraged to rid himself of all the people who are 'crapping in your oatmeal'.\r\n\r\n  And a male exotic dancer and his family are terrorised by their decomposing aunt who visits them with a solemn message from beyond the grave.
