A banker, a Daily Mail reader and a benefit claimant

[*Ant*]

A banker, a Daily Mail reader and a Benefit Claimant are sat round a table, and there are 12 biscuits.

 

The banker immediately takes 11 and whispers to the Daily Mail reader, "Be careful, that Benefit Claimant is after your biscuit."

Or immigrant instead of benefit claimant Very good.

By using the term "benefit claimant", I dare say the Mail reader would feel that they had covered all the bases

hmmm i think in reality the banker would grab all 12 then mortgage one to the benefit claimant at extremely high cost then complain to the mail the chap defaulted on paying it back

and then look for 11 more benefit claimants for the rest

and then complain to the government his packet of biscuits have gone and demand more

You forgot the politician and the civil servant - the banker is paid 9 biscuits. The daily mail reader is paid three biscuits. The politician takes four biscuits from the banker and one from the Mail reader. He gives two to the benefit claimant, two to the civil servant, one to the next-door neighbour, keeps one and drops two on the floor and has to borrow three to make up the numbers. Next week, when he has to pay back the borrowed biscuits and can't balance the books and pay the civil servant and the benefit claimant, the politician shouts "the banker's got all your biscuits, the greedy bastard". And everyone believes him.
