Miner comes up in capsule
WIFE
So where the f**k have you been?
Miner
Hanging around for ages.
WIFE
A likely story.
MINER
I've been underground for two months
WIFE
That's what they all say.
MINER
Can anyone else finish this?
Chile
Man gets back in tube
man: I forgot something
wife: what?
Man: Your the reason I stayed down there so long!

okay, bit ropey - any other takers?

It could work nicely as a very quick one-liner
Version 1
Miner comes up in capsule looking disheveled and relived he's out. He staggers towards his wife his face happy with expectation.
WIFE
Where the f**k have you been?

That's what they all say. Prove it.
The miner thinks and then holds his fingers upwards
MINER
Stalactites
He smiles and turns his fingers down
MINER
Stalagmites
His wife slaps him
WIFE
It's the other way around you lying pig. I hate you.
Personally I always avoid topical stories like the miners because everyone's writing one, but I like both Rob's and Ishy's suggestions. The stalagmites is original.
I'd quite like a twist on it though, maybe he's a builder from Essex?
I think it's wide open to a load of wit/comedy
It's a great premise.
& The only pay off I can think of is the missus being a lot more moany & the guy winching himself back down there at the end.
I think JayH hit it pretty much on the head. I like the idea of him going round for another ride like a kid on a fairground, but that doesn't really fit the set up.

So where the hell have you been?
Miner
I've been in a cave f**king 32 blokes. It was great.
or
what was it like.
it was like our first night together; the anticipation, the excitment, the relief of finally getting there...
...and the discovery I was the 32nd one up that day.

MINER: At the optician's
WIFE: 69 days at the optician's!?
MINER: Yeah. Apparently I've got tunnel vision.
Remember Mites grow up but Tites come down.
