Two income tax collectors
died and arrived at the pearly
gates. Just ahead of them were
two clergy, but St. Peter
motioned them aside and took the
internal revenue into heaven at
once. "Why
them ahead of us?" the surprised
religious leaders asked. "Haven't
we done everything possible to
spread the good word?" "Yes,"
said St. Peter,"but those two IRS
agents scared the Hell
out of more people than you
ever did!"
Golf is a lot like taxes --
you drive hard to get to the green
and then wind up in the hole.
This sign on a New York service station:
"We collect taxes -- federal, state,

Taxation, like a lot of other
things, is based on supply
and demand. The
Government demands, and we
supply!
'Tis much
Better to give than receive --
and it's deductible.

"Tomorrow night we will take up syntax."
"Goodness!" she exclaimed. "If
they're going to collect
that, I'll never be able to
afford the tuition!"
