Quick Groaner

INT. DAY. OFFICE.

A MAN WALKS INTO HIS MANAGER'S OFFICE. HE HAS AN A4 PAGE WITH THE WORD 'IT' WRITTEN ON IT IN LARGE LETTERS. HE HANDS IT TO HIS MANAGER.

MANAGER: What's this?

MAN: I've decided to hand in my notice.

MANAGER: This isn't your notice, you have to put it in writing.

MAN: Just have, bye.

ENDS.

I assume this took place in the IT Manager's office.

Park attendant hands in his notice, 'Keep Off The Grass.'

Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc.,

Its not called groaner for nothing.

Yes, that's where it took place :D

I was bored Morrace.

You could build a sketch on it. For example, the manager calls him back and says,

'Our subsiduary is opening a cracker factory and we need someone like you write the jokes. You'll get TWICE the salary you're getting now! Now that's a good offer - in fact, its a cracker!

'Its a cracker', I've heard that somewhere before. Cracker... Jack (if he happened to be called Jack). Oh now we're getting somewhere, mention The Krankies, etc.

And, thanks for feedback as well.

For info:

Frank Carson - "Its a cracker" - "Its the way I tell 'em!"

I would like to distance myself from 'Quick Groaner'. It will be shredded a.s.a.p. and I feel I speak for myself and thousands of other comedy fans that this is the correct course of action. I am indebted to Morrace for pointing out the error of my ways. A picture says a thousand words and a thread with both someone yawning and Frank Carson in it has given me the proverbial kick up the ass that I clearly needed.
