It's Tax Time

Dear IRS,

Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.

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

I am enclosing four toilet seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029), bringing my total remitted to $3429.00.

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. (article from USA Today detailing how HUD pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screw) Screw is 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,

A Satisfied Taxpayer
