A WOMAN IS SITTING OUTSIDE A BEDROOM BEING COMFORTED BY AN ELDERLY PRIEST,

THERE IS A VERY LOUD SOUND OF SCREAMING.

WOMAN

Oh father, how could our sweet little Jinny be posessed by satan?

FATHER

Well the dark lord, he can only inhabit a strong host. One with smooth skin, clear eyes, and cracking tits.

WOMAN

Erm yes father, er it's gone quiet.

FATHER

Sorry my child, I'm a touch deaf. I was just thinking if something I saw on Big Brother last night, that pool..

WOMAN

Father, I said it's gone quiet. Do you think the exorcism is over?

FATHER

Exorcism, you say? Oh dear I am a little deaf.

A MAN IN A SKULL CAP, WITH A BLOODY APRON WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.

MAN

Oi va voy father, that's the 3rd circumcision you've asked me to do this week.

FATHER

Well the dark lord, he can only inhabit a strong host. One with smooth skin, clear eyes, and cracking tits.

That line is genius. The rest is literary landfill.

Oh well may save the ine.

I rather liked comparing circumcision and exorcsim

thanks

I can grasp the fact that your skit plays on the whole circumcision/exorcism confusion with a deaf priest.

However, the Man's line at the end is very confusing; firstly it is not funny, secondly this man is wearing a bloody apron having just 'circumcised' a girl called Jinny? Is this supposed to be funny? If so the last line just doesn't pay it off.

You've got me confused with this one.

Hmm is female circumcision just to nasty?

Maybe change the gender of the victim?

No, it's not that it's too nasty Joel, it's just the fact that you dont pay it off with the punch.

If that's the direction that you want to take this skit(not sure I would), would the man's line be commenting on the number of circumcisions that week (is three excessive anyway?) or would he be more concerned that his patient was lacking in foreskin!

You not heard of female circumcision?

Err, nope. Am I an idiot?

Heard of it yes (a very grubby practice; mutilation performed mainly in Africa on underage girls)…never heard of it being carried out by a Rabbi!

Strange subject for a joke.....can't think who would make or perform it.

Hmm I might change the Rabbi to a Dr.

I dunno wrote this one for fun.

Oh well to the bin with it, thanks

Hey not so hasty to the bin mate. I think it's a good skit but you probably really should make the child a baby boy and have a doctor instead of a rabbi. Perhaps he just comes out saying 'Ok where can i put this foreskin?'

I can see the wordplay you were going for but it doesn't quite work in the current format I don't think. It just doesn't fit together, a (presumably Catholic) priest getting a Rabbi to perform female circumcision. None of them go together.

Mind you, if you CAN pull off a sketch about female cicumcision, that would definitely be something to see!
