A priest calls

A priest knocks on the door of a family home.

A woman runs down the stairs buttoning up her top, looking somewhat red in the face.

She opens the door.

Priest : Hello there Carole. Not a bad time is it?

Woman : No Father. Come in. Malcom Father O Mally is here.

Grunt from upstairs and man jumps out of bed and comes down stairs.

Man: Hello Father.

Priest: Malcom. Sorry to disturb you my good man, but as verger of the church I've got a couple of issues to discuss.

Woman: You weren't disturbing father. He suffers from premature ejaculation. We'd finished. Cup of tea?

Man : Thank you Carole. I don't think Father O Mally is interested.

Priest: I can always come back another time.

Woman: No Father. Malcom's brother will be round in a little while anyway.

Priest: I see.

Woman: It wouldn't have been good for Brian to catch us having a threesome with his wife would it Father?

It took me a few re-reads to get the joke, but I liked it well enough when I did, ha. Perhaps some tightening of the lines - particularly that last one to something shorter and simpler - would help get a bigger laugh.

Yeah wasn't so sure on this one.

This has very good potential but I'd drop the 'premature ejaculation' line. It's funny enough in a 'shocking' kind of way but it pushes the sketch towards a post-watershed slot and so drastically reduces the number of programmes that might show it.

Also, the punchline is a bit complicated and lots of audience members might still be trying to work it out while the next sketch is on.

The 'right' ending might be:

WOMAN:
You weren't disturbing us, Father. We'd finished. Cup of tea?

FATHER O 'MALLEY:
No, thank you. I'll come back another time.

THE PRIEST TURNS TO GO, JUST AS ANOTHER PRIEST HURRIES DOWN THE STAIRS ADJUSTING HIS VESTMENTS

WOMAN (TO FATHER O'MALLEY):
Would it be any trouble to drop Father O'Toole off at the bookies?

That's good Rodeye. That's good!

Yeah, I think Roodeye's edit improves it some. This is part of your 'worst things to say' runner I take it?
