Quick gag

INT. HOME.

A PHONE RINGS, A MAN ANSWERS IT.

MAN: Hello.

VOICE: Your wife's five foot two.

PHONELINE GOES DEAD.

MAN: What the f**k?

WIFE: Who was that dear?

MAN: Bloody strange who ever he was. Some bloke said that you're five feet two then hung up.

WOMAN: But i'm five foot three.

MAN: Phew, that was a close call.

*groan*

I liked it, I imagined the last last delivered in extreme close-up with the guy looking directly at the camera.

*er*

It is quick, but I'm not sure it's a gag:(

On reflection, its pretty poor actually but some you win, some you lose.

It's a good idea, but I think you undersell the punch.

Maybe sinister music, close up husbands face filled with fury.

"You lied to me!"

You say this when you look in the mirror?

No, I say '2IHT' when I look in the mirror.

Perhaps not but it's scores highly on the groan factor for me.
