Tax & Fleece (as if Halloween wasn't creepy enough)

...yet another in a long series of diversions in an attempt to avoid responsibility.

A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the Texas plains without water. His horse has already died of thirst. He's crawling through the sand, certain that he has breathed his last breath, when all of a sudden, he sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what looks to be an old brief case.

He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.

She is wearing an IRS ID badge and a dull gray dress having an uncanny resemblance to Hillary Clinton.

There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a pencil tucked behind one ear.

"Well, cowboy," says the genie... "You know how I work. You have three wishes"

"I'm not falling for this." said the cowboy. "I'm not going to trust an IRS genie, especially one that looks like Hillary Clinton."

"What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!"

The cowboy thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie is right.

"OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and drink."

***POOF***

The cowboy finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen. And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.

"OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish."

"My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams."

***POOF***

The cowboy finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.

"OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!"

After thinking for a few minutes, the cowboy says... "I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me."

>***POOF***

He turned into a tampon.

The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached.

You may not have inadvertently noticed how hauntingly that face in the pumpkin that purports to be HRC actually looks more like Chelsea.

To be sure it's not her fault as she couldn't have chosen her parents.

But still, some Dramamine please!

You know what's scary? Here's something real scary. I have to give up about 30% of my income to people because they have guns and will use them on me if I don't. That's scary. Who would have ever thought that the great experiment in freedom, the USA, would resort to such means?

If I don't pay some nameless, faceless government a vicious portion of my income it will come after me with armed thugs ready to deprive me of my freedom and my life. Go figure?

Sorry...I don't see it. And, to be perfectly honest, I'm wondering how you see it.

Don't know how to reply, It just jumped out for the first split second.

For those of us who don't always use reading glasses when we could allows you see things others don't. ;-)
