EXT. PARK. DAY. TWO WORKMEN HOLDING SPADES AND SHOVELS AND WEARING HIGH-VISIBILITY OUTFITS ARE STANDING TALKING.

WORKMAN 1:
You know that new bloke that's started?

WORKMAN 2:
Yeah, I think he's called Dave. What about him?

WORKMAN 1:
He's gay.

WORKMAN 2:
Gay? How do you know?

WORKMAN 1:
Look.

CAMERA PANS TO THIRD WORKMAN WHO IS WEARING HIGH-VISIBILITY TROUSERS WITH THE ARSE CUT OUT OF THEM.

Th pace and set-up is good but personally feel a bit uncomfortable with the leap to arse out signifying gay. Is there more of a twist you could have, like
WORKMAN 1:
He's gay.

WORKMAN 2:
Gay? Really? How do you know?

WORKMAN 1:
Slept with him last night

or something unexpected for your characters?

If you wanted to go really stereotypical, maybe a play on the builder/other outfits from village people, and them trialling the most appropriate one for a building site?

Cheers AJGO.

Yeah, it's definitely not a PC sketch. I might try and do something like it but using photoshop and speech bubbles as it's more of a visual gag.

I liked your 'slept with him last night' one though. :D
