Taxes
A nervous taxpayer was unhappily conversing with the IRS auditor
who had come to review his records. At
one point the auditor exclaimed, "We feel it is a great privilege to be
allowed to live and work in the USA. As a citizen you have an obligation to pay
taxes, and we expect you to eagerly pay them with a smile." "Thank goodness," replied the
taxpayer. "I thought you were going to want cash."
Airport Check-In
While waiting in line at a busy airport check-in counter,
I noticed a set of rambunctious little boys in front of me. As the line inched
along, their mother tried in vain to get them to calm down. Finally, she reached the counter where the
ticket agent asked her, "Have any of the items you plan to take with you
on this flight been out of your immediate control since your arrival at the
airport?" The young mother replied
honestly, "The luggage, no; the children, yes."

My wife and I were flipping through TV channels the other
