The Monkey and The Tax Woman

by David C. manager

Recently,as some of you may know I was in the Hospital with Pnemonia,and through ilness and laziness I missed my Tax deadline for my employees returns.Therefore.I was goinged to be fined,for late  returns.Being a Scotsman I don't want to part with a penny,unless I had too.

 

   So I phoned up the tax office and after the eternal wait I got through to a real voice and it was a woman (in the UK beeing in hospital isn't an excuse).So I told this woman that I had been in hospital,and when I got out,I had enouth time to finalise my returns,but what had happened was while I was in Hospital my pet Monkey must have got a hold of the keyboard and some how changed my password for the tax office.She said that still wasn't an excuse and I agreed.

 

   Then I told her the monkey had cost me a fortune while I was in Hospital,as he had change my bank account codes,and numorous other things as well.I assumed he had got the wireless keyboard.So I had paid a local Crofter(Scottish small farmer) a £100 to shoot the Monkey in the afternoon,she replied,starting to cry,could I not give him to a Zoo,I said no he's cost me far to much and it was quicker and cheaper to shoot him.As she was crying,she said if I didn't shoot the monkey I would get a 2 week extension for my tax returns and I wouldn't be Fined.So,reluclantly I agreed not to shoot the Monkey and I would have my Tax Returns in within the next 2 weeks.

 

  I would have loved to be a fly on the wall,when she told her boss why she was crying.

 

The moral of the story (which is true),is get yourself a Monkey,as it is cheaper to buy bananas,than pay tax fines.

Hello David, you've got a very good way of dealing with unfavorable circumstances and turn it to a positive ending. I wish I can get a clever monkey like your one. I would train that monkey to speak to the tax woman and do the explanation.

You had me and the Monkey worried,but in Scotland you can shoot anything as long as you are on an Estate we were going to take monkey up to the Estate to be dispatched.

That Monkey must be related to the dogs my friends had back when I was in school. These particular dogs wanted nothing to do with eating Dog Chow, their diet was completely comprised of eating homework due the next day!

I really can't believe this monkey was THAT clever!

It'd be hilarious to actually watch him using your keyboard on its own hahaha (I wonder what he was looking for tho?)

Thanks for sharing this David, definitely worth re-sharing! ;-)

And why shot the innocent monkey any way? The monkey was not responsible for the laziness of the taxpayer. We take innocence too lightly and lessen our chances of survival. Just think about that for a few moments.

I used to have a dog when I was at school who would eat due homewrk and made me miss the bus for school as he followed me to the bus-stop and I had to take him home and when I got back I had missed the bus.I thought about it for a moment O.M.C no I still say the Monkey did it if you have anykind of proof you would say so I've got the monkey tied and Gagged in the corner,Found out he was trying to download naked Monkies Sergio-Felix problem is I don't know what sex Male or Female does anyone know what "ugha-ugha aaa

Very funny David. I am glad you are getting better and still have your APSense of humor.While you are at it I heard Nessie was hungry, hint hint! That is less money than paying a local Crofter. Have a great day over in Scotland. :)

"Your APSense of humor". Never thought of that. Thanks, Glenn, I will use the expression with your permission. :)
