Tax Blues
Even though the girl band (The Fabulous Blues Babes) was working for tips at the coffee house, their accountant said “Chump change” is still taxable . . .
Tax Evasion
As Jeff was led away in handcuffs for tax evasion, he tried to hide from the stinking paparazzi and wondered what form you used to report rodents caught . .
Out on a Limb
Michael had bought his Speedo just a little too big, and on the first dive–well, it was gone. Out on a limb, hiding and waiting for everyone else to leave, he felt as vulnerable as Al Sharpton with a tax audit . . .
End of the Rainbow
Within minutes of spotting the double rainbow, NOAA experts showed up to study the phenomenon, the CIA came to make sure it wasn’t some spy device or leak of national security, the IRS came to see who, if anyone, found the pot(s) of gold at the end of the rainbow(s) to make sure the pot(s) of gold/rainbow tax was paid (not long term capital gains, ordinary income), a delegation from Congress came to see if the pots of gold could be used to balance the budget, and Al Gore came to explain that he invented rainbows, so any gold would be his. Finally, the President came to announce that there would be no permits issued for using rainbows as alternative fuel, and Eric Holder said since this was Texas, they would be suing either Texas or the rainbows, it wasn’t clear. All in all, it was a busy morning . . . . David, Sf.G.
Calm Before the Storm
Almost every night, Bob Jim and Suzie came down to the dock on the bayou to watch the sunset and enjoy the calm before the storm which was the ten o’clock news. The two needed a little calm before hearing about tornadoes, fires, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, reporters’ phones tapped, North Korea firing missiles, arsenic found in chickens and who knew what else? . . . . .
