Heart Attack Sketch

Two middle aged men (late 40's early 50's)- Frank and George are in a public bar.

FRANK: So, how are you then George?

GEORGE: Oh not good Frank. It's my Mother. She's had a heart-attack

FRANK: Oh no mate. How is she?

GEORGE: It's touch and go

FRANK: Oh mate. I hope she pulls through mate

GEORGE: Cheers mate.

FRANK: I mean, it would be a disaster for me if she did, God forbid, die

GEORGE: Why's that then?

FRANK: Well I've got standards haven't I

GEORGE: What standards are they then?

FRANK: I don't wank over dead people.

(George just glares at him)

It may sound a bit juvenile, but I would welcome opinions, be them positive, negative or neutral.

It's shit isn't it. I regret posting it.

The punchline doesn't work because it's ambiguous; 'over' as in 'thinking of' and 'over' as in the literal sense.

Oh yes, didn't think of that. Yes, bad sketch, won't post another one this year. I'll stick to the day job- or my sheets (weyhey).

It's not so bad, don't be so down on yourself.

That said you seem to have mixed up 2 diferent sketches and that doesn't seem to be working.

It made me laugh :D

Thanks Andy.
