Running Gag Sketch

Male patient (23) walks into the doctor’s office and takes a seat, the patient is very nervous.

Dr: Ok then Mr Jenkins, I am afraid to say that it is bad news.

Patient: Really? Ok then doc, I want you to give it to me straight, what is the bad news.

The doctor looks down, he lets off a small sigh, he lifts up his head and makes eye contact with the patient.

Dr: I've found lumps

Patient: Lumps?

Dr: Lots of lumps and it is really hard to get rid of them, I’ve tried water but they still won’t budge.

Patient: What?

The doctor lifts up a large mixing bowl with a wisk sticking out the side of the bowl.

Dr: The lumps just wont come out of this custard, i don't know what I'm going to do.

Doesn't really work for me Chris. If you're going down the lumps road, there was a local news item over the weekend about a guy in Rottherham with breasts. Perhaps the doctor could confirm the man is growing breast's to which he'd reply.

MAN: So? I know lots of men with breast's.

DOC: Yes! but i've found a third growing out of the back of your head.

yeah it was a quick something i put up when bored at work, thought it could work as a running gag, a kind of 'this week i are been mostly..........'

but thanks for the feedback.

I agree, for me, it doesn't really happen as it stands.
Am sitting here trying to think of a slightly diff angle as it's a neat little idea. What about man goes to docs and says that he's found lumps etc and then pulls out the bowl and shows it to doc to examine?
;)

yeah i think in reverse would work better.

thanks for reading.
