Peter Jackson presents:
The Sack of Gondolin. Again.

(Gondolin, First Age...)

PA: Attention shoppers, we have a sale on canned peaches.
Random Elf: what are peaches? hm. a flyer. I'll read it.
it reads: in honor of Turgon the king, the Gondolin Department store will be having a 20% off sale next week. Everything you can fit into a sack is 20% off.

(Next week sometime. Enter several Elves. among them Ecthelion and Glorfindel)
Ecthelion: I'm thirsty. I'm goint to go to the fountain for a drink
Glorfindel: not again! who do you think you are, Lord of the Fountain?
Ecthelion: I think it's obvious that I am.
(Ecthelion goes off to the fountain)
Ecthelion: ooh, the fountain.
Gothmog: I don't think so.
(they fight until the ratings are sufficiently high, and then both slay each other.)
Glorfindel: I feel a tremor in the Force. Hey, there's only one sack left. (he grabs it) and it's all mine!
Balrog: no it's not. (he pushes Glorfindel off a mountain* and grabs the sack. Glorfindel is hanging on by the sack)
Balrog: (shakes the sack) you could at least let go. (he shakes it more, then loses his balance and they both fall off the mountain)
Morgoth: Excellent. The Sack of Gondolin is all mine! HAHAHAHA! I can save 20% off on everything!
Turgon: but you have plenty of money. You don't pay taxes.
Morgoth: shut up. (he checks out and heads back to Angband)

* I should explain why a department store has a mountain in it. Frankly, though, I have no idea why.

And there you have it. Enjoy, everyone, and remember, evil people don't pay taxes, and neither do people without jobs.
What a crappy moral. and what about taxes on mutual funds, and sales tax, and things like that?
shut up.
