Harry Horse and The Salty Old Sea Dog

Harry Horse, Private Detective re-read the advert he'd put in his local evening paper for an assistant and general dog's body and suspiciously eyed his first and only applicant and then asked the simplest of simple questions, 'what's your name?' 'Baldy Bane,' was the sarcastic reply he, the miniature baboon, fired back and before Harry could say another word the miniature baboon added, 'and before you ask, because I know that's what you were about to do, yes my Dad does have a warped sense of humour but beggars can't be choosers, so when do I start?' and it was the words so when do I start that really annoyed his inner thoughts.
