Petshop sketch

Int. Pet shop - Morning

Kitty, 70, the owner of 'Petslife' is stood at the counter. Mr and Mrs Dell approach the counter.

Kitty: Hello, how can I help?

Mr Dell: We just wanted a bit of information. We want to know the name of a particular breed of dog.

Kitty: Well, dogs are my speciality, so go just give me a description.

Mr Dell: It's quite a stocky little dog, ugly, drools a lot and you always see them in adverts wearing a union jack waistcoat.

Kitty: Ah, now that's a bulldog.

Mrs Dell: You see, dear. I told you it was a bulldog.

Kitty: Are you thinking of getting one? They have a lovely temperament and are very loyal.

Mr Dell: God no! We're cat lovers and can't stand dogs.

Mrs Dell: (Laughs) No, we were just trying to work out what you reminded us of!

Kitty looks shocked.

Mrs Dell: Good day!

Mr Dell: Good day!

Mr and Mrs Dell depart.

Enjoyed, as it didn't go where I thought it was going ... that they were talking about the spice girl that wore union jack gear.

Not bad but better without the "(Laughs)" in above line as then it can be seen as done in total innocence and naievity of any malice. Totally straight.

In our opinion, of course.

I see what you mean, Gary. I actually meant the (laugh) to be a sort of 'innocent-twee ho ho ho' rather than a malicious laugh.

Yes I liked it.

:)

me, too. Good stuff.

It was amusing.

I was amused too!

hehe I literally giggled :D
