Life's Awkward Situations

A supermarket checkout. The checkout girl sits at the counter, eyeing an embarrassed young man that stands by her holding plastic bags.

Checkout Girl
So that's peanut butter, Vaseline, a watermelon and a toasting fork.

Young Man
Umm...yes...

Checkout Girl
Peanut butter, Vaseline, a watermelon and a toasting fork.

Young Man
Yes...

Checkout Girl
Okay, £6.79 then please.

The young man pays and hurries out.

Checkout Girl
Have a good night sir.

The checkout girl grins and turns round to her colleague behind her.

Checkout Girl
There's always one...

The checkout girl turns as items begin to come down the belt. She nonchalantly picks up the first, a ski mask, and then looks down in confusion and horror as the mask is followed by a pair of pliers, a set of knives, a spade, a ten gallon drum and a bottle of fairy liquid.

Hi, Cinnamon. I'm sure that you're all quite bored with my saying 'I'm new to this etc' but what I'm quickly grasping is that there are different sorts of sketches. Some are funny ha, ha, some are ironic, some are visual - and so on we go.
If you were employed as a comedy writer for tv then I think, without doubt, that we'd be seeing this. I could even see that it could work without saying a word. Just a load of naughty smirks and raised eybrows, looks of shock and surprise, etc.
So, what I'm saying is (I think) that it's a good sketch but one of those ones that'd only get in if you were already in. Know what I mean?
I like it, but then I like most of what you do.

I know what you mean. The more visual sketches would also be impossible to film without outside funding.

Thankamayou for the comments
