SEVERAL WEEKS ago,my beloved Bank hit me,Leonardo da Monetbags with a 50 quid overdraft fee which,being the peaceful,Buddha-like chappy that I am,was met with a feeling of total good will and equanimity towards the baskets responsible,namely the bank- shirkers themselves.Yes,Leo clearly remembers his extremely peaceful reaction on reading the welcome,and eloquently-worded epistle:'Dear Mr L. Monetbags,Esq.,We at Arklays Bank are delighted to inform you that you are now fifty pounds to the poor after having incurred a well - deserved overdraft penalty for going into the red by the sum of £66.06...Is that not the Number of the Beast?We bank- workers very much hope that you will not see red and go into Incredible Hulk mode,as is the usual custom with cussed customers such as yourself.Please forgive us,Mr Monetbags Esq.,but we have wet ourselves with mirth at your expensive expense!Now you know how we greedy bankers make our billions!Oops,almost used the W-word!
Yours insincerely,
The faceless Bank Staff.
PS.Could Arklays Bank offer you a loan to help pay off the overdraft fee?At a suitable high rate of interest,of course...With a bit of luck,you will once again go into the red,thus owing us another fifty quid- every little helps!'
