I posted this many months back but it never made it in. I hope it makes it this time.
This isn’t really a shidduch story but it did happen and I found it funny.
Johnny was a bounty hunter for Michael, a bail bondsman. Michael attempts to use the cash payments he’s made to Johnny as a business expense. His CPA explains to him that Johnny has to report it as income and for that he’ll need his SSN. Michael asks Mackenzie, his secretary, to call the number on Johnny’s business card and get his SSN.
Here’s how the conversation went.
Mackenzie: Hi, may I please speak with Johnny?
Voice on the other end: He ain’t here right now!
Mackenzie: And who am I speaking with?
Voice on the other end: Me
Mackenzie: What is your relationship to Johnny?
Voice on the other end: I’m his Momma!
Mackenzie: Well, maybe you can help me. I’m trying to get his SSN for some tax purposes.
Johnny’s Mamma: You ain’t be callin here for Johnny no more or Johnny gonna take you out.
Mackenzie: Oh, that’s so nice of him. It’s been so long since anyone offered to take me out!
Johnny’s Mamma: You ain’t be understandin, Johnny gonna take you out- you ain’t be comin back!
Michael was not able to claim those payments as a business expense.
