Money

Very important little spiel, on something that’s very real, it IS the real “deal” when you’re looking for a meal, something you might steal, but becomes an ordeal WHEN YOU FEEL
You might have some strife, if you hide some, from your wife, but such is life, because, as you know “YOU CANNOT TAKE IT WHEN YOU GO”

Please, my readers of eLanka, Lanka Times & Sooriya websites (+thousands of others),
Read about some very important aspects of MONEY. MONEY HAS VARIOUS NAMES.

In a Temple, Church, any other religous institution or (genuine) charity, it is called :-
“A DONATION”
In Marriage, be it “Love”, “Arranged by Parents”, “Arranged by either Partner” or “Same-Sex”:- “A DOWRY”

In Divorce, it is simply known as :- “ALIMONY”

In “owing Anything to Anyone”, it is:- “A DEBT”

All Government payments, of course,:- “A TAX”

In “Court”(depending on the crime) :- “A FINE”

For all Employees it is simply :- “A SALARY”

To all “Subordinates” it is termed :- “A WAGE”

To a borrower (from banks especially):- “A LOAN”

To all “good” children who deserve it :- “AN ALLOWANCE”

After any good “service” it is called :- “A TIP”

To a kidnapper it is called :- “A RANSOM”

Illegal payment for “services” :- “A BRIBE”

Money given to your wife is called :- “A DUTY”

Because EVERY Wife (Woman or Man), as the case may be, in THIS Country, where they cannot agree to “same-sex” Marriagery (I cannot still figure out which is which) is quite
CERTAINLY :- “A DUTY” because either of them is not :- “DUTY-FREE,” oh, WOE IS ME!
