ROBIN HOOD IS RETURNING GOLD TO SOME PEASANTS.
ROBIN
There you go good Englishmen here's your gold the wicked Sherrif stole from you.
PEASANT1
Don't want it.
ROBIN
What?
PEASANT2
Yeh give it back to the Sherrif.
ROBIN
But this is your gold, stolen by that vile blackguard and the corrupt church are you scared....
PEASANT1
By stolen you mean taxed don't you? I mean granted most of the money ends up in a big chest in his cellar surrounded by skeletons and cobwebs.
PEASANT2
But a proportion goes to monasteries, security. I mean those monasteries provide the only beer and medical faccilities in the land.
PEASANT1
The waters undrinkable, do you want an outbreak of cholera?
ROBIN
But he taxes your labor so cruelly, I only want to give back what's yours.
PEASANT1
After taking a small cut for your operation.
ROBIN
That's ridiculos it's only a few shillings for arrows and green hats.
PEASANT1
You see we're generally pretty socialist. We may be poor, but we're equally poor. We're happy to pay into an inefficent central Sherrif based administration, if it provides basic but equal serivces.
PEASANT2
Where as you're a fiscal conservative. You tax less, but spend it almost all on military expenditure. Returning our money and creating a market economy for essential services, which ends costing more in the long run.
ROBIN
Well if you're going to be like that, I'll give the gold back. You ungrateful wretches.
ROBIN STORMS OFF
NARRATOR
And so Robin returned the gold to the sherrif, and assumed a lucrative position with him as a security consultant. Next week King Arthur's health and safety assessment of the sword in the stone.
I love it, especially with the silly jokes I usually get following people's recognition of my similar name.
