"THAT" Time of Year!

My Business....... doh
A father walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a 25-cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat.

He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.wow help

A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable man in a gray suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee.coffee At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter. He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market. Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but only just) the man takes hold of the kid and squeezes gently but firmly. After a few seconds the boy coughs up the quarter, which the man catches in his free hand.

The man then walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son was fine, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him.handshake

The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the thanks. blushing

As he's about to leave, the father asks one last question. "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before - it was fantastic yay - what are you, a surgeon or something like that?"uncertain

"No" the man replies, "I work for the IRS, getting people to cough it up is my business."tongue grin:

IRS AUDIT.help.words and thoughts that often strike fear into the hearts of perfectly normal people! Just the possibility that they may be interested in YOUR tax return.......frog sad It's "THAT" time of year!
avias, mine has been set to the IRS, what gripes me is the rich who pay on average 4% and mine run over 20%. I am not complaining about paying taxes, I know it is necessary , it is the "salary" of our nation, but who to blame, the politicians ? No - blame the voters who put them there. confused doh frustrated studecar

Ha. Never mind one tax for the rich (low) and one for the poor (high) - I just got a letter about my salary increase. I'm so good, I'm THAT good, I'm getting the maximum available, a whole 3% yay

The directors of the board are getting 10%. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?
