Another topical sketch

An idea I just had and sent off to NewsRevue. I tried to get as much innuendo in as I could as I hear they like that!

Int. Tony Blair’s Front Room

Tony is at a table writing some paperwork. Cherie enters with a cup of tea.

Cherie: What are you working on, Tony?

Tony: Oh just some paperwork for my role in the Mid East Quartet Envoy.

Cherie: Ah right. So, are you going to be playing lead or rhythm?

Tony: No, no. It’s not that sort of quartet. It’s to do with solving the middle east crisis. No strumming at all.

Cherie: That’s a shame. (SITS DOWN) I do love it when you start a strumming.

Tony starts looking at his paperwork in frustration.

Tony: Where do I start though. It’s such a task

Cherie: Start with the G-string. See if it needs loosening (WINKS AT TONY)

Tony: Cherie, please. I’m very busy. I haven’t made any speeches for some time. I need to nail my technique.

Cherie: Well, if you want to hit the right notes then it’s best to practise your fingering technique. (WINKS AT TONY)

Tony: CHERIE! I’m not playing the guitar, so PLEASE stop all this childish innuendo.

Cherie: Oh I get it. You want me to...

Tony: Yes! Go and play your own little guitar solo!

ENDS

Very good Winterlight. Laughing out loud

I think you miss an innuendo with "nail" Perhaps get Cherie to say something about who's doing the innuendo now?

I got hard there.

It was good and I can imagine Cherie's winking getting a laugh, but I wanted more innuendo's (maybe that's a good thing).

Good luck!
