Crappy Days

This is one of my old ones so go easy.

INT: CUNNINGHAMS HOUSE

JOANIE is sat reading a magazine. There is a knock at the door. JOANIE answers the door to the FONZ.

FRENZIED AUDIENCE OVERLOAD.

FONZ
Hey, Joanie, is there any chance that I could put my chopper in your garage.

FRENZIED AUDIENCE OVERLOAD.

JOANIE
Why Fonzie, I don't know is it clean?

FRENZIED AUDIENCE OVERLOAD.

FONZ
Hey, I oiled and greased it this morning.

JOANIE
I don't know, I'm not sure what mom and dad will say. Why don't you try it around the back.

RITCHIE
Hi Fonz, what's happening?

FRENZIED AUDIENCE OVERLOAD

FONZ
Hey, Ritchie, I don't suppose there's any chance of me chucking the chopper in your backyard is there? Everything I say to Joanie here she takes as a sexual innuendo.

RITCHIE
Chuck your chopper in my back yard. Fonz I didn't know you were that way inclined.

(changing his wording)
Hey, Mr and Mrs C. Am I glad to see you, I can't get any sense out of these kids of yours. Can I put my motorcycle in your front yard ?

MARION
Put your throbbing machine in my frontal greenery? Why Arthur Fonzerelli.

FONZ
Hey.

The End.

It's ok, but an oldish joke stretched a little far, and in need of a concluding punchline.

the concluding punchline is there. 'Hey'

A punchline, should either pull the whole skit together, or mark a surprise twist in the conclusion.

Just my opinion.

Finbarr Saunders rides again.
