INT. OFFICE. DAY.
A MAN WALKS THROUGH A PROPPED OPEN DOOR. SUDDENLY HE IS SHOWERED WITH TREACLE, FEATHERS AND A SMALL DUCK. A COLLEAGUE JUMPS OUT OF HIS CHAIR LAUGHING.
COLLEAGUE
Ha Ha! January Fool!
MAN
What, there is no such thing as January Fool, it's only April.
COLLEAGUE STOPS LAUGHING
COLLEAGUE
I look stupid now don't I?
THE MAN TUTS AS THE DUCK STRUGGLES TO MAINTAIN PURCHASE ON THE TREACLE.
MAN
You twat!
HE WALKS OFF THE DUCK QUACKING AS HE GOES. THE COLLEAGUE DEJECTED SITS DOWN.
END
I don't think you have anything here, if I'm honest. It would probably be funnier watching you trying to film it.
Ducks are almost always funny, but not here. Sorry Danny. Or was the whole sketch a 'january fool?'
I quite liked it.
I think it would be better if the embarrasment slowly dawns on COLLEAGUE as opposed to him immediately noting the role reversal.
Ha ha, January fool!
There's no such thing. It's April.
... what?
April fool.
... f**k.
You idiot.
... that took me hours.
Where did you get a duck?
... lake.
or...
MAN
What, there is no such thing as January Fool, it's only April.

MAN
You twat. So the jokes on you.
COLLEAGUE
Yeah, but the ducks on you.
DUCK
Quack!
END
How about...
MAN
What, there is no such thing as January Fool, it's only April.
COLLEAGUE STOPS LAUGHING
COLLEAGUE
You lied to me duck!
DUCK
Quack!

It's January

COLLEAGUE
Sorry. Happy New Year?

I like the Leevil variant.
