New joke thread (trigger alert, may offend if you want it to)

     Apparently, this is a real reply from the UK Inland Revenue. The
Guardian newspaper had to ask for special permission to print it.  The
funniest part of this is imagining the content of the letter sent to
the Tax Office which prompted this reply!




     Dear Mr ---------

     I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than
prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of
the points you raise.   I will address them, as ever, in order.

     Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as
a "begging letter".    It might perhaps more properly be referred to
as a "tax demand".    This is how we at the Inland Revenue have
always,  for reasons of accuracy,  traditionally referred to such
documents.

     Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream
of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the
letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted.    However, whilst I have
naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would
cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy
pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers"  might indicate that
your decision to  "file them next to the toilet in case of
emergencies"  is at best a little ill-advised.    In common with my
own organisation,  it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do
see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding charity".
 More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain , with a
responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole.

     Which brings me to my next point.   Whilst there may be some
spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay  "go to shore
up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services",
a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion
that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole
damned party"  yourself.    The estimates you provide for the
Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation,  whilst
colourful,  are,  in fairness,  a little off the mark.     Less than
you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles"
and  "dancing whores"  whilst far more than you have accounted for is
allocated to,  for example,  "that box-ticking facade of a university
system."

     A couple of technical points arising from direct queries:

     1. The reason we don't simply write  "Muggins" on the envelope
has to do with the vagaries of the postal system;

     2. You can rest assured that  "sucking the very marrow of those
with nothing else to give"  has never been considered as a practice
because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant,
the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially
unviable.

     I trust this has helped.   In the meantime,  whilst I would not
in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other,  I
ought to point out that even if you did choose to  "give the whole
foul jamboree up and go and live in India "  you would still owe us
the money.

     Please send it to us by Friday.

     Yours sincerely,
     ---------

Define Old:

When you fall over and people laugh you're still young.  When they panic and race over you are old!

When you drop something and think "Do I actually need this anymore"

Buying slippers with memory foam so you'll never forget why you went in the kitchen.

Beep. If I do not return your call,

You are one of the changes."
