Moles

Scene: We see a freshly dug grave.
Cut to a man wakes up in a coffin.

Man: Oh my God! [Looks around him frantically. He begins to kick at lid and finally breaks wood. He begins to dig his way up]

[Meanwhile up above two cemetery gardeners are discussing the mole problem]

Jim: I been down the office this morning Frank and boss says we got to do something about this mole problem.

Frank: Well in fairness tis getting a bit ridiculous.

Jim: Aye, so I thought we'd start by flattening down a few of them there hills.

Frank: Good enough.

[They start flattening hills by bashing them with the flat sides of their shovels]

[Cut to external shot of grave.]

[Cut to buried man who has now got out of the coffin and is working his way to the surface.]

[Cut to Frank who is making his way to the grave bashing down mole hills as he goes.]

[Cut to buried man seeing surface light]

Man: Yes! yes! My God yes!

[He begins to part earth at the surface. Frank is now bashing down mole hills on our man's grave.]

[His head breaks surface, sfx car breaks and Franks shovel stops just above his head. Frank stands back in amazement. Man goes to speak but Jim's shovel comes smashing down on him]

Jim: Christ! He were a big bugger.

I like it.Blindingly obvious works sometimes and its a nice 'will he/wont he' moment with Frank before Jim comes along.Timing needs to be spot on but yep,it'd make me laugh

It made me laugh too. That'd be really funny acted out.

for some reason there are no moles in Ireland - seriously. But I still found it funny Roscoff, well done.

I agree. I would have been disappointed if he hadn't whacked him!
Enjoyed it a lot. Well done Laughing out loud

Liked that very much. The joke would be the look on the guy's face the second before the shovel comes down. Get that right and you've got yourself a winner.
