Actually the idea should have worked. The premise was this: “The Fall Out Team”, namely Neutron (me), Atom (Myron Voth), Proton (John Zylstra), and Electron (Rex Ely) were highlighted as possibly showing up at a high school rally of 800 kids in the Seattle area.
Our schtick was: at the most inopportune moment during the evening banquet, after the speaker was introduced but before he started speaking, we would come out of the dark from the four corners of the auditorium and I would blow a whistle. I would then yell “Air Raid” and the four of us would dive to the ground. Hopefully this would generate uncontrolled laughter and applause. But, the speaker came to the mic, we stepped out of the shadows, I blew the whistle, yelled “Air Raid,” we dove to the ground and the room was dead silent.
Alas, the Fall Out Team was never to perform again.
