Fake Sheik

Sorry but I think I've spelt skeik wrong.....but you get the idea.

Two people in sheik style dress are sat on a sofa in the offices of News of the World. They are meeting with the Editor.

Editor : Well done chaps. The Pakistan cricket team were the final targets. Our work is done.

Sheik1 : Are you sure? I rather hoped we could take some really high profile figures next.

Skeik2: Yeah, lets get some people who brim with integrity.

Editor : Gary Liniker?

Skeik1 : No, I was thinking more like Ex Prime Minsters.

Editor : Churchill? I always thought there was something iffy about that car insurance.

Skeik2 : Churchills dead. Has been for a while. No I was thinking of Blair.
Editor: Blair? Come off it. Never has there been a more trustworthy figure. No you're wasting your time there.

Skeik1:We need to screw someone who would never think of turning against his convections?

Editor: Nick Clegg! Excellent idea.

Skeik2: No. Look lets go straight for the top.

Skeik1: The person they love above all others.

Editor: Trevor McDonald?

Skeik2: No bloody idiot, The Queen.

Skeik1: Just imagine the scoop!

Editor: She never fall for it.

Skeik2: Really? She's short of a bob or two. Civil list, cutbacks, royal weddings to pay for...

Editor: Hmmm okay how much.

Skeik1 :I reckon she go for 2million.

Editor: Lets do it.

Editor rushes away and come back with bag stuffed with cash.

Editor: This is going to be great.

The Skeiks rise and take the bag.

Once outside the door they reveal they are the Queen and Prince Philip.

Philip : Like taking candy from a baby!

Doesn't work for me. Some how the jokes feel a bit blunted.

Didn't work for me, Bigfella. Not really sure where you'd be hoping to use this either.

Sorry Big Fella. Too long and the dialogue doesn't seem to flow.
