Cypress bank sketch

A guy is standing in a Cyprus bank and talking to a banker.

Banker - How may I help you?

Customer - I would like to cash in this check for 3.000.000 £.

Banker - Ahh you are one of our rich customers. Would you like a treasure chest for that sire?

Customer - Of course.

Banker - How do you want your riches?

Customer - I was thinking some pearl necklaces, some rubys and the rest in gold.

Banker - Good choice sire. I don't know how you are going to stash your riches, but we have some excellent advice in this brochure to hide a treasure chest. It shows how to make a treasure map, place booby traps and where to hire a group of pirates to chase potential treasure hunters.

Customer -Super, just the thing I was looking for.

Banker - The bank offers a parrot and an eyepatch for free, could that be of some interest?

Customer - Sure why not.

Banker - Good, good. Ok you have to get your treasure through the crowd of soon-to-be-broke people outside our bank. Since you been a very good customer you also get these silver-mounted flintlock duelling pistols to shot yourself through the human mass.

Customer - That's good service, I only brought this knife with me.

Banker - Good luck Sire and have nice day.

Not wanting to sound too pedantic, but the country is Cyprus. Cypress is the tree. Of course, you can always have a bank in a tree, if there are lots of branches.

ok thanks :)

I'm afraid I found this much funnier than the sketch.
