EXT. DAY. PARK BENCH.

AN OLD MAN AND OLD WOMAN ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.

OLD MAN:
Doctor says I got erectile dysfunction.

OLD WOMAN:
You can't get it up then?

OLD MAN:
Nah and he says I'm too old for Viagra.

OLD WOMAN:
Maud's husband can't get it up. Doctor told him to take up a hobby, you know, to keep his mind off it.

OLD MAN:
A hobby? Yeah, I could do with being active, can't think what though.

OLD WOMAN: (pointing)
There's Maud's husband, he'd be the man to talk to.

Very good.

Maybe the sight of the rod rising up would cause him some distress as he is reminded of his inability to raise his own?

I could see this as a running gag with the husband taking up increasingly obscure and daft hobbies to take his mind off his problem/problems with the unintended result that they do exactly the opposite.

Thanks James. You've put a bit more thought into this sketch than I did.
