Sketch: Charity
A MAN IS STANDING OUTSIDE A SHOP SHAKING A BUCKET FULL OF LOOSE CHANGE - YOU CAN HEAR THE COINS RATTLE.
A PASSER-BY STOPS AND PUTS SOME MONEY IN THE BUCKET.
PASSER-BY:
What are you collecting for?
CHARITY WORKER:
Old people?
How well are you doing?
I've probably got enough to buy two old ladies.
