Two men dressed in pin-stripe suits arrive at the gates of Hell.

The devil greets them and says,

“Welcome gentlemen! Clearly you have lived it up on Earth but now you must pay for your sins!” 

The two suited men look at each other and smile.

“That’s ok.  We’re a couple of Bankers, the government’s paying as usual!”

Believe it or not, this is a true story that happened recently to my business partner, Ian.

Ian was working at a client site and as usual had started work early.  While busily typing on his keyboard he spotted a small rodent scurying across the office floor.  Being the diligent person that he is, Ian reported the “incident” to security.  The business day continued with no further interruptions.

After leaving the office for the day, Ian caught the train to travel back up North.  He managed to struggle to a table where three women were already sitting.

Unzipping his laptop bag on a table, what should appear but a small brown mouse.  Thinking smartly, the mouse leapt into one of the women’s laps before making its bid for freedom down the carriage aisle. 

Understandably there was a lot of commotion from the three women at Ian’s table.  The train guard arrived on the scene asking what all the fuss was about.  One of the women accused Ian of letting his mouse loose on the train.

Ian replied:

“Yes, that’d be right.  Myself and Stuart Little always take the train on a Thursday.  In fact his car’s waiting for him at the station.”

You really couldn’t make this up!
