A taxpayer received a strongly worded "Second Notice" that his taxes were overdue. He hurried down to his local IRS office and paid, saying apologetically that he must have missed the first notice. "Oh," replied the agent, "we don't send out first notices. We have much better luck if we start with the second notice."
People who complain about taxes can be divided into two groups: men and women.
"It's income tax time again, Americans: time to gather up those receipts, get out those tax forms, sharpen up that pencil, and stab yourself in the aorta." (Dave Barry)
The wages of sin are death, but by the time you take taxes out, it's just sort of a tired, run down feeling.
How do you know you've hired a good tax advisor? There's a loophole named after him or her.
"Worried about a tax 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 the bank after paying your taxes. That's a red flag." (Jay Leno)
"If you are truly serious about preparing your child for the future, don't teach him to subtract ... teach him to deduct." (Fran Lebowitz)

Being vague is just as bad as that other thing.
No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
Whoever said nothing was impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
My oven has a button that says "Stop Time." It probably means "Stop Timer" but I don't touch it. Just in case.

The Study
A husband was trying to prove to his wife that women
talk more than men. He showed her a study which indicated
that men use about 10,000 words per day,
where as women use 20,000 words per day.
His wife thought about this for a while. She then told her
husband that women use twice as many words as men
because they have to repeat everything they say.
Her husband looked stunned. He said "What?"

Adopted Turtle
Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree.
After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air
waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering,
he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground.
The turtle tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting
on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate.
"Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."

"I'm telling you," repeated the wife, "I'm sure there's water in the carburetor."

A former Marine sergeant took a new job as a school teacher; but just before the school year started he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable.
On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart-alecky punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him. They decided to see how tough he really was, before trying any pranks.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made the teacher's tie flap, he picked up a stapler and promptly stapled the tie to his chest.
He had no trouble with discipline that year.
