Dear Internal Revenue Service:

Enclosed you will find my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes. Please note the attached

article from the USA Today newspaper; dated 12 November, wherein you will see the Pentagon

(Department of Defense) is paying $171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat.

I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6) hammers valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot, bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00. 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) 1.5" Phillips Head screw (see aforementioned

article from USA Today newspaper detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screws). One 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

So very true... I'll send them two 4'x8' slabs of 1/2" thick steel... you know so that our men in Iraq do not have to make their wifes widows when their fibreglass HUmvee drives over a land mine or throught a combat zone. I think Soldiers deserve armored vehicles more so than most Celebrities, don;t you?

Saw on the news the other night where they're coming across roadside bombs that can pierce tank armor. Dang...

lets see gov took out $18,973.65 out of my checks for the year. my expected money back is only $1,200. Is somthing wrong there?

Don't get me started on this one.

i dont pay taxes (im 16) but my parents do and they got back like $4,000

oh god...why use 1 or two when you can use them AAALLLLL
