Short shorts

A couple of quickies

THE GARAGE

1. EXT SMALL GARAGE. A MECHANIC IS OUTSIDE AND A MAN APPROACHES HIM

MAN:
Morning

MECHANIC:
Hello mate.

MAN:
There's something wrong with my steering, could you take a quick look?

MECHANIC:
Sure, bring it round, I'll take a gander.

FADE

2. EXT GARAGE AGAIN. THE MECHANIC IS STANDING OPEN MOUTHED AS THE MAN COMES INTO VIEW, PUSHING A SHOPPING TROLLEY ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILD INSIDE IT

SHOPPING

1. INT SUPERMARKET. A MAN IS AT THE CHECKOUT WITH A VERY BORED LOOKING YOUNG GIRL SERVING

CHECKOUT GIRL:
Do you want to pay a pound for a bag for life?

MAN:
Go on then.

HE PILES HIS BAG WITH STUFF, LIFTS IT UP AND EVERYTHING FALLS THROUGH THE BOTTOM. HE'S JUST ABOUT TO COMPLAIN TO THE CHECKOUT GIRL WHEN HE DROPS DEAD OF A HEART ATTACK. SHE JUST LOOKS AT HIM WITH DISDAIN AND SPEAKS INTO THE TANNOY

CHECKOUT GIRL:
Cleaner to checkout number 3 please.

...would you like a bag for life?"

No thanks, I got one when I married.

Ishy, I like the second one - it's a clever idea.

There's a sticker on my Dyson that says 'Say goodbye to the bag'. It always makes me laugh, every time I see it.

Ditto Godot - that second one is go!

The man from Del Monte says Yes!

2nd better that 1st but liked both.

I enjoyed both

Very nice Ishy :)

Thanks everyone.

Yep No.2 is the one for me as well. Nice, clever short visual gag there.

2nd v good, 1st good but too long

as so often is the case number 2 is a winner
