Mexican Bandits

THREE MEXICAN BANDITS WALK INTO A BANK AND UP TO THE CASHIERS DESK

BANDIT 1
Ok nobody move or I'll sneeze, now hand over the money.

CASHHIER
But you don't even have a gun?

BANDIT 1
Maybe so but we all have Swine Flu.

BANDIT 1 PICKS A LARGE FEATHER FROM UNDER HIS PONCHO

BANDIT 1
Any funny business and Pedro gets it.

THE BANDIT TICKLES PEDRO'S NOSE, HE GOES TO SNEEZE

CASHIER
No!

BANDIT 1
Ok now put all the money into the bag and be quick , it's awful dusty in here and Sanchez is a sucker for hayfever.

CASHIER
But we have no money.

BANDIT 1
You are a bank of course you have money, where is it all?

CASHIER
Iceland mainly.

BANDIT 1
Iceland but that's in the artic!

CASHIER
Yeah and you'll never get through quarantine.

BANDIT 1
I wouldn't go there anyway, I'd catch my death!

Sorry but I didn't get it...have you been on the old funny juice?

Tom, nice idea.

But for me the punchline comes in the third line.

I'd really chop it down and leave it at that.

I agree with Bigfella. Leave it at, "Maybe so but we all have Swine Flu."

I concur with what everyone else says.

The Iceland link seemed a bit dated, and unless, the Mexicans the were big depositors in Landsbanki, contrived.

A cliche of the bank robbery is the member of the gang. who lets fly when he is not supposed to. Maybe make use of that, e.g.

BANDIT 2 SNEEZES

BANDIT 1
You trigger happy punk!!

BANDIT 2
Sorry boss, hayfever.

How about bringing in a sassy 68 year old have-a-go-hero with some.......pepper spray

You might be thinking to yourself - do you need 3 lines or 12? You also have to ask this, Do you feel lucky? Do you think a 'large feather from under his poncho' is funny? Well, do ya punk?

Do people with Swine 'flu go 'Oink-Choo'?

Thanks guys. I'm trying to move in to topical stuff (hence my recent songs) but I'm still getting to grips with it a bit.

I thought it was probably funnier as a shorter sketch but was trying to make it a bit longer for performance.

Quite enjoyed it. Nice idea anyhow, though agree the Iceland stuff is too far out of the news to feel like the topical ending you want.

Was desperately trying to come up with a flying pig / swine flu pun.

Nice idea, agree with others but on ending after the third line.
