DEBT ADVICE
A WOMAN WALKS INTO A BANK UP TO THE DESK WITH A SIGN SAYING "DEBT ADVICE".
BANK CLERK
Good afternoon madam.
WOMAN
Good afternoon. I'd like some advice please.
BANK CLERK
Well we're here to help. Take a seat. Can I have your name please?
WOMAN
It's Mrs Rogers.
SHE SITS DOWN
BANK CLERK
Now then Mrs Rogers. We have some forms to help you. Basically you need to list down your incomings - then all of your necessary expenditure.
WOMAN
OK.
BANK CLERK
And then make sure you spend more than you have coming in.
WOMAN (SURPRISED)
I'm sorry?
BANK CLERK
Well depending on whether you want to get heavily into debt or moderately into debt.
WOMAN
So how is this supposed to help me?
BANK CLERK
Well if you want to get heavily into debt then go and enjoy yourself. Splash out. Have an exotic holiday.
WOMAN
But I'm already in debt. I want some advice as to how to get out of debt.
BANK CLERK (ASTONISHED)
Out of debt? We are a bank - durr. How else do you expect us to make any money and pay our shareholders? How dare you waste my time. Next please.
