Reply to a final income tax demand from a Galway farmer.

Dear Sirs,
Your letter arrived this morning and it would have given me pleasure to tell you the account could have been settled long ago, Well, here is the reason why it hadn’t..
In 1996 I purchased a hay shed on credit. In 1997 I bought a combine harvester, a manure spreader, two horses, a double barrel shifter, two cows and ten razor back pigs, also on credit. In 1998 the bloody hay shed burnt to the ground leaving not a damn thing. I got no insurance either as the bloody premium had lapsed. One of the horses went lame and I loaned the other one to my brother who starved the poor bugger to death.
In 1997 my father died and my brother was put away when he tried to marry one of his sheep named Hilda.
A knacker got my daughter pregnant and I had to pay him a grand to stop him becoming one of my relatives.
In 1998 my son got the mumps which spread to his balls and he had to be castrated to save his life.
Later in the year I went fishing on the Shannon and the bloody boat overturned, drowning another two of my sons, neither being the feckin eunuch who was by now wearing his sister’s make-up and dresses. Not long after, he emigrated to America with the new parish priest. They are now married and trying for children.
In 2000 my wife ran away with a pig jobber from Drumlish and left me with new-born twins as a souvenir and I had to get a housekeeper, so I married her to keep down expenses.
I had a hell of a job getting her pregnant (to qualify for more children’s allowance) so I went to see the doctor. He advised me to create some excitement at the crucial moment so that night I brought my shotgun to bed and when I thought the moment was right I leaned out of bed and shot both barrels through the window,
The wife sh1t the bed, I ruptured myself, and the next morning I found I had blown both doors off the barn, shot my best dairy cow and killed the fookin knacker who was in the hay loft with my daughter trying to get more money out of me, which he did, because I had to pay for the bugger’s funeral expenses.
The next year, 2001, someone cut the balls off my prize bull, poisoned the water, and set fire to the house. I was bolloxed and took to the drink and did not stop until all I had left was a pocket watch and a weak bladder.
Winding up the watch and running for a piss kept me busy for a while but this year I took heart again and bought (on the hire purchase) a bulldozer, tractor and trailer and a new bull.
Then the Shannon flooded and washed the bloody lot away. My second wife got VD from a land inspector and my last surviving son got took short in a field and died from wiping his arse on a poisoned rabbit I had put down for dogs that were worrying my sheep. It surprises me very much that you say you will cause trouble if I don’t pay up because if you can think of anything I’ve missed I should like to know about it. Trying to get money out of me will be like trying to butter a hedgehog’s arsehole with a knitting needle. I’m praying for a cloud of cat's sh1t to pass your way and I hope it will fall on you and the bastards in your office who sent me this final demand.
Yours faithfully
John Murphy

ps. could you give me some more time or credit please
