Post Office- Sketch

INT. POST OFFICE COUNTER. DAY

A MAN IS AT THE COUNTER AND IS ABOUT TO ASK THE ASSISTANT BEHIND THE OPEN TILL A QUESTION.

Man
I’ve got a package.

Counter Lady
What size is it?

Man
Pardon? About six inches if you must know

Counter Lady
It’s only a small one then?

Man
That’s the size of an average lunchbox.

Counter Lady
Pop it on the scales and let’s have a look.

Man
In front of all these people?

Counter Lady
I have to see it. It might be a funny shape.

Man
Okay but do it quickly. I don’t want people to see.

MAN GETS IT OUT. WE DO NOT SEE WHAT IT IS.

Counter Lady
Oh yes. That’s lovely. It’s a bit heavier than it looks.
The ribbon is a nice touch.
Man
Thanks very much. It’s a present. I want my wife to get it a soon as possible.

Counter Lady
She’ll love that. I’d love to see her face when she gets it. I’d be over the moon if I got one that size. Right. That’ll be £4.40 first class. Should be there in about ten days.

Man
Ten days!

Counter Lady
Sorry I forgot about the strike. About fifteen.

Man
Oh okay. I suppose beggars can’t be choosers.

HE GIVES HER THE MONEY.

Counter Lady
Thank you sir. Right then, let’s have a look at your cock.

I see a Finbarr Saunders strip in the making.

Yes - maybe a bit predictable in its unpredictability - or something.

Doesn't mean I didn't like it though.

Ha ha well done I liked it, I reckon that would really work. Just an idea for a slightly different ending

Counter lady: Well that's £4.40. Now is there anything else Sir.

Bloke: Yeah I want to weigh my bollocks as well please.
