Hilarious as always. Doing taxes makes me feel a lot like walking into a final test in a math class completely unprepared. I usually get letters back telling me I did something wrong. I think taxes are the government's way of balancing out the seasons. If they came in January, there would be an increase of suicides - hence fewer tax payers. If they did it near Christmastime, there would be revolution and civil war. Since April is a beautiful time of year, when people are generally happy with each other, and gas prices haven't peaked yet, they can come out and say, "Ok, it's time!" and we all grudgingly agree. - Chas http://chas.willowrise.com Ha, ha!
