FindernRam Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 To relieve boredom: Every Saturday I send my neighbour Tony, flowers with message: "I miss you lots" Then I sit in the back garden with a beer and listen to his wife give him the third degree.

King Kevin Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 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, --------- Customer Relations Inland Revenue TramRam, i-Ram and Kinder 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 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.

King Kevin Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I dialed a number and got the following recording:** ** "I am not available right now, but Thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the Beep. If I do not return your call, You are one of the changes." ************************************************** A small Boy wrote to Santa Claus," send me a brother." Santa wrote back, "SEND ME YOUR MOTHER." ************************************************** What is the definition of Mistress? Someone between the Mister and Mattress. ************************************************** What's the difference between stress, tension and panic?* Stress is when wife is pregnant,* Tension is when girlfriend is pregnant,* and Panic is when both are pregnant.* ************************************************** A woman asks man who is traveling with six children, "Are all these kids yours?"* The man replies, "No, I work in a condom factory and these are customer complaints". ************************************************** A young boy asks his Dad, "What is the difference between confident and confidential?"* Dad says, "You are my son, I'm confident about that. Your friend over there, is also my son, that's confidential." ************************************************** Nominated as the best short joke this year... A three-year-old boy was examining his testicles while taking a bath. Mom" he asked, "are these my brains?" "Not yet," she replied.
