Time Table

Just a quickie sketch from a sitcom.

Two blokes meet in a pub.

CHRIS: Alright Phil! Pint is it?

PHIL: Yeah i'll try one...i've just seen your Julie in the shop, didn't seem herself.

CHRIS: I know! One of her oldest friends was knocked and killed by a bus yesterday.

PHIL: Never! how awful...How old was she?

CHRIS: 47, quite ironic really.

PHIL: Why would that be ironic?

CHRIS: Cos that's the number of the bus that hit her first.

PHIL: You mean there was more than one?

CHRIS: Oh yes, mind you the 47 only struck her a glancing blow, it was the 82 following just behind that did the damage...bloody typical, you wait ages for a bus then two come along at once.

You could probably lose the lines about the irony of the situation, but the punchline is excellent. Very good.

Angry It's always the woman, isn't it? If she's not ironing then she's being run over by a bus - sorry, 2 busses. :D
I've said it before and I'll say it again - nice one!!
