Just day dreaming...

Dear IRS:

Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407 in taxes.

Please note the attached article from USA Today, wherein you will see that the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat.

I am enclosing four toilet seats (fair value $2,400) and six hammers (fair value $1,029), bringing my total remitted to $3,429.

Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential Election Fund," as noted on my return. You can do this inexpensively by sending them one 1.5" Phillips Head screw (see again, article from USA Today detailing how HUD pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screws, which is also enclosed for your convenience).

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.


Sincerely,


An Honest U.S. Taxpayer

I am in the printing business, I am the one who sets all the prices for the company I work for.

Every now and then I get a request for printing quote from the GPO (Government Printing Office) in Washington DC. It is a 5 page FAX, three of those pages go into minute detail of what they want printed. I could describe the same printed piece in one short paragraph. If I was to sit down and try to decypher all the k-rap that they ask for I too would charge 100 times the going rate.

What do I do when I get government quote requests?

I file them in my square file.
