Quick! Somebody say something funny! It's an emergency!
Very animatedly tell someone that you just heard a really hysterical knock knock joke, and ask them if they want to hear it. Of course they'll say yes, and then you excitedly tell them to start.

Moments after they have hidden themselves a burly policeman opens the door to the shed and sees the three sacks propped up amongst the garden tools. He walks up to the first sack containing the Englishman and gives it a sharp kick with the toe of his shoe.
