Big Jugs Sketch

Something I just read here has inspired me to write my second (ever) sketch. The first passed unregarded here.

Big Jugs Sketch

Scene 1

Int. Bar – 9pm

A buxom barmaid walks across the room carrying with two hands a tray containing two 7-pint jugs of beer. A lairy young man approaches her.

Lairy Man: Can I hold your jugs?

The barmaid adjusts to carry the tray with one hand and strikes the man a heavy blow sending him staggering across the room.

Barmaid: You male chauvinist pig. Do you think that, just because I'm a woman, I can't carry a tray of beer.

Short, sharp and with a nice twist in it's metaphorical tail. Very funny, well done.

Wave Had to respond to this on 2 counts. Firstly I moaned, yesterday, that so few people do crits.
Same old faces (sorta) all of the time. Bless them for being there for us newbies!!!! So I could hardly not respond (though, in my defence, I do try to crit every day Angelic)

Secondly, I did it because I like to.

I laughed at that. Thank you for making me laugh. Laughing out loud

Now where did you get that idea from?

Yeah. I read the '4 Lads' extract and looked for other ways of subverting the old 'jugs' cliché.

I actually didn't see the punchline coming for once and it was very funny :D
