Local Fire Crew try to round up Harold (the clever sheep)!
ok adapted but think it works! Hope this will still count ....if not hope it brings a smile! Andy
A small set of a gate in the country overlooking 2 rows of mill terrace houses and a grassy hill. A real rustic in smock and floppy hat is leaning on the cottage gate with a ear of corn sticking out of the side of his mouth. A city gent on holiday appears behind him. Off-screen baa-ing noises throughout.
City Gent Good afternoon.
Rustic Afternoon.
City Gent A lovely day isn't it.
Rustic Eh, 'tis that.
City Gent You here on holiday or...?
Rustic Nope, I live 'ere.
City Gent Oh, jolly good too. (surveys the hill and terrace housing looks puzzled) I say, those are sheep aren't they?
Rustic Ar.
City Gent Yes, yes of course, I thought so...only...er why are they up on the roofs and in the trees?
Rustic A fair question and one that in recent weeks has been much on my mind. It's my considered opinion that they're nesting.
City Gent Nesting? !!!
Rustic Ar.
City Gent Like birds? !!!
Rustic Ar. Exactly. Birds is the key to the whole problem. It's my belief that these sheep are laborin' under the misapprehension that they're birds. Observe their behavior. Take for a start the sheeps' tendency to 'op about the field on their back legs. (off-screen baa-ing) Now witness their attempts to fly from roof to roof. Notice that they do not so much fly as...plummet. (sound of sheep plummeting) Observe for example that ewe in that oak tree. She is clearly trying to teach her lamb to fly. (baaaaaa...thump) Talk about the blind leading the blind.
City Gent But why do they think they're birds?
Rustic Another fair question. One thing is for sure; a sheep is not a creature of the air. They have enormous difficulty in the comparatively simple act of perchin'. (crash) As you see. As for flight, its body is totally unadapted to the problems of aviation. Trouble is, sheep are very dim. Once they get an idea in their heads, there's no shifting it.
City Gent But where did they get the idea from?
Rustic From Harold. He's that sheep there over being chased by the firemen on the roof. He's that most dangerous of animals, a clever sheep. He's the ring-leader. He has realized that a sheep's life consists of standing around for a few months and then being eaten. And that's a depressing prospect for an ambitious sheep. He's patently hit on the idea of escape.
City Gent Well why don't you just get rid of Harold?
Rustic Because of the enormous commercial possibilities should he succeed!!!!!!!

Deleted my post rod as you have had time to see it by now, tried to turn the other cheek but ive never been good at that, maybe your next pic could be some Pakistani or black lads every body could take the piss out of?? sure that will be just as acceptable as this.
Sorry Papa I saw your post but I just did'nt understand it tbh mate as it had no text. I had no idea you were actually offended by all the Welsh jokes but I am sorry if you feel offended by the picture etc. Also Fyi Papa my surname is Williams a good Welsh name as it happens and my father who is 100% welsh doesn't mind me ripping the mickey out of his welshness.
I guess the next caption of a slightly tipsy, red headed, kilted man riding a Haggis down a log flume might have to be shelved then for now as I don't want anyone to think I'm racist or anything.
