JOHN SMITH IS WALKING DOWN THE STREET HUNCHED OVER

VO
Every day is a struggle for John. John is one of the estimated 2,000,000 arse holes living in the UK.

A WOMAN RUNS OUT OF HER HOUSE, CHARGES JOHN AND SMACKS HIM WITH A ROLLING PIN KNOCKING HIM OFF HIS FEET

CAMERA CREW RUNS UPTO JOHN

JOHN

Hello, I guess I deserved that, I drank the pint of milk the milk men left her, and then weed in the bottle. I'm an arsehole

VO

John where are you going today?

JOHN

AA

VO

Alcoholics Anonymous?

JOHN

No arseholes anonymous, we kept the initials, so when alkies turn up at the wrong meeting. We can all take the piss, and ask them down the pub and stuff. I know what you're thinking, but we can't help it, we're all arseholes.

INTERIOR A COMMUNITY CENTER A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN A CIRCLE ON PLASTIC CHAIRS. A WOMAN IS SPEEKING

WOMAN

So she says says, does this skirt make my bum look big? So I yanked by the changing room curtain and yelled what do you think to every one in Monsoon....she started to cry, and I said stop whining or you'll go into labour early, hang on you're not pregnant, just really fat.

SOCIAL WORKER TYPE CHAIRING MEETING

That's very brave of you to share that Jane, so few no the true pain of being an arse hole.

EVERY ONE CLAPS, JANE WEEPS SOFTLY INTO HER HANKEE

SOCIAL WORKER

So John, how's your week been?

JOHN

I was doing so well, till I...

SOCIAL WORKER

Till you what?

JOHN

I put pictures of naked men in all the prayer books, and wrote I like men's bums in all the bibles, and the giant crucifix, I shouldn't have.

A PRIEST WALKS UP BEHIND JOHN HE HAS A FULL SIZE SCULPTURE CRUCIFIX, JESUS HAS A LEATHER CAP ON, AND I AM A BUMMER SCRAWLED ON HIS CHEST. THERE ARE A BUNCH OF OTHER PARISHONERS. THEY DESCEND ON JOHN THE OTHERS FLEE

INTERIOR JOHN'S FLAT

JOHN

Well I got us banned from the Church hall. I thought Christians were all into forgivness, I can't help it I'm an arse hole. Any way, I'm off to my next AA meeting.

VO

Where are you meeting now?

JOHN

The local Synagogue said they'd put us up.

HIS COAT FALLS OPEN HE IS IN FULL SS UNIFORM, HE PUTS ON A CAP AND WALKS OUT THE DOOR CARRYING A COPY OF MEIN KAMPF

you on to a winner here mate!

Reminds me a little of the gits from Harry Enfield

This is good too. I like the stuff about inviting the alcoholics down the pub and the SS uniform at the end is a great visual gag.

Yep another goody.

Don't you just hate it when you have an idea only to discover a few days later that somebody has beaten you to it?

Saying that. I thought the sketch was excellent. I don't post on here as i often as i would like due to various reasons. One of them being that i am a lazy git! Which is why i admire anybody who can write so prolifically and hit the mark with such a high success rate. Excellent work Sootyj.

I think you've got a great idea on your hands there. Another great sketch.

Thanks you beautiful people, soon there will be an episode 3!

It's actually a riff on political correctness, people always say "leave him alone he's mentally ill, not like that bloke he's just an arsehole,"

say it loud, say it proud, I'm an arse hole and proud!

You know it's good Sooty.
Love it when you write something you're really proud of.

Good try, mate.
What you've lacked in laughs you have made up for by attracting the yea-sayers.
It's good to see them out in the light.

I've never perused the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves, but I understand it was tailored made for people who haven't yet grasped where to properly place their commas. That's not a dig at you; it's a piece of advice that you would do well to follow.

Keep writing & keep submitting!

Sooty is dyslexic, as are a few other submitters. I'm sure he would get someone to look over it for him before submitting anywhere professionally. :)

Dyslexia may account for his inability to recognize the difference between homophones, but it does not prevent him from learning how to properly punctuate his sentences.

Full stop.

We have what we believe we can have.

What the f**k does that mean??? :S

I think we can agree that the sketch requires some correction of spelling and punctuation. :)

Dyslexia is imaginary?

Ooh, I have broken 6000 posts. I rule at being lame. (Well, I'm up there.)

Oi mate! Are you well c**ted, or what?

What the bloody, great Alsatian haemorrhoid do you mean by "What the f**k does that mean?"

It is very simple and obvious. The language is modern English.

We have what we believe we can have. If you want it and believe you can have it, then it is yours.

If you believe you cannot have it, then you won't have it.

If a person wants to overcome their dyslexia, then they can. If they believe they cannot, then they won't.

You should speak to Heather.
Get her growing that new leg.
