Dealing with your irresponsible daughter

A thought-provoking advertisement at Schiphol Airport, where we changed planes last week en route to our holiday…
You leave a fortune and an irresponsible daughter.
Let’s talk about your future.
So, I’ll pose a quiz question. Was this:
a) an advertisement for a bank, hoping to get its greedy paws on your money
or
b) an advertisement for a disciplinarian, hoping to get his greedy paws on your daughter?
Sadly, the correct answer was (a) – Dutch bank ING – but the latter option seems so much more appealing. And, after all, if you could instil some responsibility into your daughter, you might not need to employ a team of bankers to cream off their commissions from your hard-earned wealth.
(The option of hanging around for a while, so that you don’t have to ‘leave’ your fortune to anyone but can continue to enjoy it yourself, was presumably – and rather morbidly – not on the bankers’ agenda).

If you leave a fortune, that presumes you are already gone, so your future is pretty much decided!

I think they were trying to get to your money before you snuff it…!
Either that or a Dutch bank has invented an immortality potion and are advertising it in a very subtle way. (OMG, a beer plus two free cocktails at our hotel and I so nearly typed that as “an immorality potion”, which would be far more fun!!!!)
Abel, my dear, I think a beer and two free cocktails contail “Immorality Potion..”
‘Tis a good thing that my reputation stands before me as one who spends his life helping to uphold the highest possible moral standards, and correcting any girls who fall short of these…
Abel: You wrote ‘correcting’ when you so obviously meant to write ‘brutally terrorising’…
So glad Smudge is around to correct my little proofreading slips…
