Twitter police

been playing around with this sketch, but not sure if I like it or not, think it needs more, or scrapping altogether:

External - Day - Policeman knocking on a door

Man opens door

Man:
Hello how can I help you

Policeman looks at a notepad he is holding

Policeman:
Are you Craig Jones

Man:
Yes that's me mate, how can I help you

Policeman:
Is your twitter username craigyboyjones

Man:
Yes that's right, what's this all about?

Policeman:
On the 14th November at 12:45 PM did you tweet the following words "My mother in law is so fat, when she calls over my house we lose the wireless signal"

Man:
Yeah that's right, she is massive

Policeman:
Well she took offence to your tweet and so did her two sisters and consequently they have filed a complaint against you, so you need to come with me to the police station.

Man:
What, so your arresting me for offending my mother in law on twitter

Policeman:
Yes sir I am afraid so

Man:
Well she is guna go nuts, when she finds the little present I left in her bath

Fade out

END

Not bad but I'd make the punchline how does she know she can't get Wi-Fi because she's so fat

Thanks sooty once again, - But how do you mean where would I put that line at the end?

I think the mother in law joke bit needs changing/improving.

I mean instead of the shit in the bath punchline which felt a little obvious the joke being he isn't being rude she's genuinely fat enough to block Wi-Fi

Ahh right I see, yes I like that angle he was telling the truth, even better.

Thought I'd say Carlos nice to see you've fitted in youre part of the furniture these days

Hey thanks Sooty, I like it here it has helped me a lot with writing and knowing what is good and what is crap, and as forums goes for comedy stuff it is very active here.
