I bet the IRS spent $10,000 to come up with this one

DETROIT -- James Howarth has a question about small change for the IRS.
The Detroit defense attorney received a letter in November saying the government was due 5 cents. The Detroit Free Press reported Saturday that that Howarth was notified to pay "to avoid additional penalty and/or interest."
Howarth said a second letter told him he's due 4 cents, but he would have to request the refund since it's under $1.
Howarth said he's not sure whether there is connection between the nickel bill or the 4-cent refund. He's also not sure if he now owes the government a penny or if he's benefiting from a 9-cent swing.
IRS spokesman Luis D. Garcia said the agency doesn't comment on individual accounts.

Well, I finally tracked it down and yes, I owe it. OK, I will get check off tomorrow since penalty and tax is going up by the millisecond.
Other good news is that tranny in my van is shot. At least $1500 there. Going to try and get it to shop tomorrow.
Now that adds up to (Yee gods) $3000. I don't have that much. All I have left is my tattered soul. Anyone want to buy my soul for 3 grand? I'm sure it is worth much more but I can negoiatate. Tom
At the end of the tax year the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said , "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?"
"Good question , " noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back to the candle makers , and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh , " replied the auditor , somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went , in his obnoxious way: "What about all these bread wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?"
"Ah , yes , " replied the Rabbi , realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back to the manufacturer , and every now and then they send us a free box of bread-wafers. "
"I see , " replied the auditor , thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well , Rabbi , " he went on , "what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"
"Here , too , we do not waste , " answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the tax office , and about once a year they send us a complete dick."

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
