REAR-ENDED

TWO COMPUTER NERDS TRYING TO THINK OF AN IDEA TO MAKE MONEY.

PERRY:
Come on then. You're the one with the brain. There must be something we can do to rip people off through the web. Everyone's doing it.

MILES:
I don't see you coming up with any ground-breaking ideas.

PERRY:
I've had plenty of ideas. You dis them all.

MILES:
What like the 'Bum Competition'.

PERRY:
It could work. People are vain. If they think their bum is better than everyone else's, they'd have a go.

MILES:
At £10 a throw?

PERRY:
Yeah, if it bottomed out at 500 bums a week at £10, that's £400 profit for us and £100 for the best bum.

MILES:
Have you got any idea how hard it would be to get a decent picture of your own bum?
Virtually impossible for fat people.

PERRY:
Easy. You get a close friend to do it. They could do each other's.

MILES: What about singles?

PERRY: Time release. Just set the camera and pose. Simples.

MILES:
And the criteria? How would you define a winning bum?

PERRY:
A voting system. But they can't vote for their own bum.

MILES:
How would you stop that?

PERRY:
You're the tekki guy.

MILES:
Shut up. Bin it. Won't work.

PERRY:
Why not?

MILES:
Too many cracks.

A bit wordy shirly with a groaner at the end. Make it much shorter.

ps 10 X 500 = £5000 (no additional cost for this)

Cheers, Will. Thanks for looking.
I sort of imagined it as a video script. You know, two nerds meandering their way through the day - their inane mutterings etc. But if you think it works better cutting more directly to the groaner - then I shall have a rethink.

thanks again.

Shirl

I liked it, reads like it belongs in a series of character sketches rather than a one off...and a cracking ending. Pleased

I like you, Shandonbelle, and agree with you, and your comment was not wasted on me 'cracking' good one!!! :D :D :D

Though I do still wonder if there are a few holes in this...

I'm not sure about holes, but it's on the windy side I'd say. ;)

All the best sketches come from behind.... Whistling nnocently
