Got my income taxes all done and mailed in the check. I made it out to the "Eternal Revenue Service".

They sent it back though -- no sense of humor at all !

I do feel like I'm cheating every year on my taxes when I list myself as the head of our household.

Seriously though, I think all those guys at the Internal Revenue Service are so damn picky. They denied a 50 % depreciation deduction on me.

It was all Mrs JimJr's idea though. She said I'm not half the man I used to be.

I saw in the paper the other day that in effect, by paying taxes, the average American works over 6 months a year for the Government.

Hell, even Government employees don't work 6 months a year for the government.

Since I've retired, I've been having a problem calculating my adjusted gross income.

I've done it five times so far, and it's still gross.

I've come to the conclusion that America's Founding Fathers were all wrong.

Seems to me that they should have fought for representation without taxation.

With the big hit the movie "Titanic" is, I wonder if anyone but me noticed that April 15th was the day it went down.

That happens to be the income tax deadline in the US when millions of Americans are also sunk. Ironic, huh ?
