I sent the IRS this card today

I sent the IRS this card today. In "hindsight", (chuckle, chuckle) it's in kind of bad taste. Do you think I'll get audited? ROFL!!!

Somehow, I don't think those folks at the IRS have a sense of humor. They'd throw my return in the audit stack for sure!!! But hey, I can dream about sending them that card can't I? ROFL!

Love it - soooo funny!

Dream no more, Terri. Your wish is my command...I sent it for you!LOL! Boy, I hope I got your social security number right! Hey , they say they are new and friendlier!?

I am so glad you didn't send that. Those people have no sense of humor, they are vindictive, and they have memeories like elephants. What they can't do is get anything straight.

Gee, thanks a lot, Frank!!! Let me think now. Hmmmmmmm. What can I send them from you? ROFL!!!

I kind of like the letter Snoopy sent them. Wish I still had the cartoon. It went something like this:

Dear IRS,

I no longer wish to subscribe.

Please remove me from you mailing list.

Could you imagine if we all sent a note like that? :>)

Hey, that's a great idea! ROFL

Tax this? I bet that's next! LOL

Pete, My Brother who is an IRS auditor said that they have recieved this cartoon and some a lot raunchier, about a gazillion times this past week alone....He thought it was funny at first...now says he wishes we protesting taxpayers would come up with something new...So I sent it to him at home...You folks are right he has no sense of humor! LOL However he sis say that He would be happy to arrange an audit fot me....

Zanymuse, did I ever tell you how much I love all your posts? I think you are the best gardener here! And I'll bet your family is terrific too! I personally think the IRS does a great job! And I aplaud all of them, specially your brother!!

(Terri, how's that for sucking up?!LOL! Did I do good?)

Here's a funny story. My neighbor was telling me how he hates going to class reunions. He says everyone acts so phony and tries to outdo oneanother. He said it really bothers him. I told him, he should go, and just keep quiet and listen to the others brag about their cars and three homes, etc..., etc... Then when they ask, "What do you do now, Jack?" Simply reply, "IRS auditor!". I'll bet you he could hear a pin drop, then.LOL!

Y'all remember what Patrick Henry said: Taxation without representation is tyrany.

Wonder what he would think about the taxes we got now---with representation.

The lesson is, be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

That's are _great_ job of sucking up, Frank! Bravo! Bravo! Clap! Clap! ROFL!!!

My DH and I do have a friend that used to work for the IRS and he's really a _very_ nice guy. Knowing him he probably went pretty easy on everyone he audited. He's just a big teddy bear and probably felt sorry for everyone he met. Needless to say, his career at the IRS was shortlived. He wasn't the type of person they were looking for. LOL

On a serous note, audits are _not_ the deathly thing they're made out to be.

An auditor is graded on correcting returns. That does not, necessarily, mean getting more money for the government. It means that the tax forms and shedules are so complex that it's all but impossible for anybody except Pete's hubby to understand them. So you make errors. The auditor corrects those errors, and gets a good grade.

The point is, the auditor can find in your favor just as easily as in the government's. And more often than not, does.

You may not be aware of it, but most of us _have_ been audited at one time or another. If you have a baby, for instance, it effects the balance of your return. The computer kicks it out, questioning why there are suddenly three personal deductions instead of two. An auditor eyeballs it, sees the ready explanation, and puts it back in the system.

Ohmigod! Sounds like I'm defending the IRS. Perish the thought. I mean, we're talking about an organization who's initials stand for It Really Steals.

"I mean, we're talking about an organization who's initials stand for It Really Steals."

Good one, Brook! I'm ROFL!!! I'll be sure to tell DH about it. He'll appreciate it for sure. LOL

ROFLOL!!Wrong person to suck up to here...I was audited again this year! Guess I shouldn't have picked on that Brother of mine! But to be fair...they found a mathmatical error on my return...and refunded me more than I expected! So I just may have to make fun of him again next year!

Oh my, I'm ROFL!!! Your brother could come in real handy, Zanymuse. Better be nice to him! LOL

It's nice to have siblings in powerfull positions. Unfortunately, my sister is one of the top dogs at the MET in NYC. The worst she could do is "SSSSSSSSHHH" you for talking too loudly in the museum!LOL!
