Papal Bull

Just wrote this on the bus:

PAPAL BULL
===========

Int. Living Room.
------------------

TOM AND MARC ON A SETTEE WATCHING TV. TOM IS AT A LAPTOP.

Marc:
Wikipedia?

Tom:
Yep. I’m looking up The Pope.

Marc:
Why?

Tom:
People keep asking me what religion he is.

Marc:
Interesting. While you’re there, can you check something out for me?

Tom:
Sure thing. What you interested in?

Marc:
Bears. People keep asking me about where they go to toilet.

That's very nice, and quite subtle.

Not really a sketch, but could possibly work as part of an exchange in a sitcom where one of the characters is crashingly unworldly, such As Father Ted or the IT Crowd.

Have to agree with Timbo. Doesn't really stand on its own.

Cheers, guys.
I was thinking Mitchell and Webb when I wrote it. And then I got off the bus!
