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."

Easter Dinner

Young Ernie and his family were invited to have Easter Sunday lunch at his grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Ernie received his plate he started eating straight away. "Ernie, wait until we say grace," demanded his father. "I don't have to," the five year old replied. "Of course you do, Ernest," his mother insisted rather forcefully. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house." "That's at our house," Ernie explained, "but this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook."

Rewards

One Easter a preacher and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the pearly gates waiting for them. "Come with me," said St. Peter to the taxi driver. The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St. Peter to a mansion. It had everything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an Olympic size pool. "Oh, wow, thank you," said the taxi driver. Next, St. Peter led the preacher to a rough old shack with a bunk bed and some broken down furniture. "Wait, I think you are a little mixed up," said the preacher. "Shouldn't I be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a preacher, served at church every day and preached God's word." "Yes, that's true," St. Peter rejoined, "But during your Easter sermons people slept. When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed."  

What Price a Sermon?

One Easter Sunday the Reverend Jones announced to his congregation, "My good people, I have here in my hands three sermons — a $100 sermon that lasts five minutes, a $50 sermon that lasts fifteen minutes and a $20 sermon that lasts a full hour. Now, we'll take the collection and see which one I'll deliver."

A Preacher & His Son

Andrew was watching his father, a preacher, write a sermon for the Easter service. "How do you know what to say?" Andrew asked. "Why, God tells me," the father replied. "Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?"

Tax Funnies

A man, submitting information to his income tax preparer, was asked how many dependents he had.  "Eight," he replied. The preparer asked, "Would you mind repeating that?"  The man replied, "Not if I can help it."

The government is really asking a lot of us this month - first we're supposed to count how many people live in our home, then we're supposed to count how much money we owe them.  I actually got confused and accidentally sent a check to the census and a member of my household to the IRS.  Sorry, grandma.

Q. How is golf like taxes?

A. Well, you drive hard to get to the green, and then you wind up in the hole.

Worried about an IRS audit?  Avoid what's called a red flag.  That's something the IRS always looks for.  For example, say you have some money left in your bank account after paying taxes.  That's a red flag.

People who struggle with their income tax can be divided into two categories:  Men and women.

I'm not going to pay taxes.  When they say I'm going to prison, I'll say "No, prisons cost taxpayers a lot of money.  You keep what it would have cost to incarcerate me, and we'll call it even."

Plan For Tax Reform

1. Gather up all of the members of the United States House and Senate.

2. Put them in one large room and lock the doors.

3. Give each "guest" a paper copy of the United States Tax Code, a pencil and plenty of paper. No computers allowed!

4. NOBODY gets to leave the room until EVERY Representative and Senator has completed their own tax returns and PAID their taxes. (Also works for the Secretary of the Treasury)

5. If any member finishes early, he or she may assist another member. Remember, NOBODY leaves until EVERYONE had completed their return and PAID their taxes.

6. Tax reform and simplification will occur during the next session of Congress.

A Great Writer

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.  When asked to define 'great' he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"  He now works for IRS writing tax regulations.

Church Nevers

- Never ask an usher to break a $20.

- Never do a cannonball in the baptismal tank.

- Never hold a church business meeting on Super Bowl Sunday.

- Never tell the pastor, "We love your church, and we might even come back next Easter."

- During youth group activities, never bungee jump off the church steeple or play chicken with the church buses.

- After a soloist of impressive size sings "Love Lifted Me," don't follow with the hymn "It Took a Miracle."

Not So Bright Kid

Watch while I prove it to you."  The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"  The boy takes the quarters and leaves the dollar.  "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"  Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store and says, "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"  The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!"

Gotcha

A man was driving down the road. He passed a traffic camera and saw it flash. Astounded that he had been caught speeding when he was doing the speed limit, he turned around and, going even slower, he passed by the camera. Again, he saw it flash. He couldn't believe it, so he turned and, going a snail's pace, he passed the camera. Again, he saw the camera flash. He guessed it must have a fault, and home he went. Four weeks later he received three traffic fines in the mail, all for not wearing a seatbelt.

He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better.

Take the day off to recover and rest.' 'Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here.' The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. A couple of hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out from his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically... 'What's so bad now? Are you gon’na be okay?' he asks. 'No!' exclaims the blonde. 'I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too!'

Logic

Recently, I bought a cartridge for my printer. It came in a box mounted on a card and wrapped in plastic. When I took it apart, I found that the printer cartridge itself was actually quite small, but they made the packaging unnecessarily large to make it harder to steal and to make the customer feel better about the high price.  I pointed this out to my wife and mentioned how my weight gain over the years of our marriage should have the same effect: It made me seem more valuable and also made me harder for other women to steal.

Point Of View

A guy was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open, he said, "You're beautiful!" and then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side. A couple minutes later his eyes fluttered open again and he said, "You're cute!" The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful" it was "cute." She said, "What happened to 'beautiful'?" His reply was, "The drugs are wearing off!"  (P.S. - There's no word on his subsequent condition following the resultant "incident.")

Pie

In a country home that seldom had guests, the young son was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, the boy went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest. The boy came in with a second piece of pie and again watched his father give it to another guest. This was too much for the boy, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size."

Making Cents

Someone in our neighborhood put a huge sofa out by the curb for trash collection. Since it was in good shape, many motorists slowed down for a look. But when they saw how enormous it was, they'd leave. Eventually a little compact car pulled up, and two men got out. "This I've got to see," I thought. They removed the cushions, turned the sofa upside down and shook it hard. Then they picked up all the coins that tumbled out and drove off.

Cop Quotes

"The handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."

"And if you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

The Fine Print

After being laid off, I papered the town with my resumé. Days passed and I hadn't received a single phone call, so I decided to take a closer look at the copies my husband had printed at his real estate office. I quickly realized he hadn't put blank paper in the machine. At the bottom of each copy, written in bold, was a common real estate disclaimer: "The information contained herein, while deemed to be accurate, is not guaranteed."

Short Takes

·        They say a dog can retrieve a ball from a mile away. That seems a bit far-fetched to me.

·        I told my boss that three companies were after me and I need a raise. My boss asked, "What companies?" I told him, "Gas, water and electricity."

·        There will always be death and taxes. The difference is that death doesn't get worse every year.
