On Loan

Jon: Brothers, why is it that you only call when I am at my lowest?

Jon: Brothers, why is it that you only call when I am at my lowest?

Collector: ‘What do you mean Jon? We are here to collect our taxes, your philosophy is no payment.’

Jon: But before I dig into my purse again, for the small sum you ask - which is nothing to a man like me…

Collector: ‘JUST PAY UP.’

Jon: Jeeeeze let me fi-nish!

Collector: ‘Okay fine. You have exactly 1 minute.’

Jon: All I’m saying is… its funny that you come the most, knock on my door, call for me at the Market, when I have no money?

Collector: ‘BECAUSE YOU OWE US’

Jon: “Yes yes. But let us discuss something. I have noticed that you call the loudest, knock the hardest, and come at my door the MOST when I have the LEAST!

Why do you not come back when I actually have money to pay you?”

Collector: ‘Okay we’re locking you up again.’
