FX SCREAMS

MAN: (confused)
What's wrong?

TELLER:
You.. you've a stocking over your face.

MAN:
It's not a stocking, it's a hold up.

TELLER:
This is a hold up?

MAN:
No, the tights on my face, I've got terrible acne and the weather this time of year chaps my face no end.

TELLER:
Phew, what can I do for you sir?

MAN:
I'd like to put this, now where did I put it?

MAN SEARCHES COAT AND PUTS SAWN OFF SHOTGUN ONTO COUNTER.

TELLER:
Aargh! He's got a gun.

MAN:
Here it is, put this cheque into my account. (PAUSE) Oh, don't worry about the sawn off, I'm heading clay pigeon shooting today, with a midget, its for him. Now he..

PULLS OUT A LARGE SHOTGUN FROM HOLDALL.

MAN: (continuing)
… couldn't use something like this. Its for the big boys, lovely bit of kit all the same, isn't it?

TELLER:
Erm..yes, please don't shoot.

MAN:
Shoot? You don't look like a clay pigeon to me, heh heh.

FX CAR HORN

MAN:
That's impatient Ivor, the getaway driver.

TELLER:
You, you've got a getaway driver waiting for you?

MAN:
Wouldn't leave home without him. Everytime I say something to him, he says ‘getaway'. I lost my licence, ram raid.

TELLER:
Did you get caught?

MAN:
Caught? No, no. Ram raiders crashed into my living room and stole it.

TELLER:
Oh my. Could you please sign this receipt sir, please?

MAN:
Gladly, Rob Banks, there you go.

TELLER:
Is that your real name Sir? I'm confused.

MAN:
Your Con Fused, I shared a cell with you. Bloody hell, you've went up in the world mate.

2 Ronnies but in a very good way.

Good puns and lots of them.

Liked this muchly, very nicely done (as with sootyj, very 2 Ronnies) maybe that's why I liked it, dunno, did enjoy.

:)

Love it, particularly the "hold up" lines, I think they are the strongest. Made me laugh loudly :)

Thanks for bringing this one out of the vaults :)

'ram raiders stole it' nice I agree two ronnies in a good way!

My Boss is actually called Rob Banks... no joke. Good Sketch!
