I Really Do Not Make That MUCH Money…

A friend sent me this from a house posting:

Pay-Tubs?


A bit unreasonable to ask for two tubs, wouldn’t you think?

Endless? Paper

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

Many years ago—in rather ancient times when there were still matrix printers—a sales manager would sit down once a month to write and print invoices. The typical bill had a lengthy list of used materials and was roughly 50 pages long.

After hours of work he sat back, chooses the print option from the menu, made a phone call and then walked into the secretary’s office to check on the printing progress. Imagine his surprise when seeing that the printer is out of paper and sadly hammering the cylinder:

“I thought the printer uses endless paper?”

That Stinks!

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

The German news reported yesterday a gas alarm at the Köln/Bonn airport. Police, fire department and airport security got alarmed after screeners recognized a distinguish gas small coming from one suitcase. Gas cartouches were expected. The owner of the suitcase was found and he had to open the suitcase himself.

Surprise, surprise!

Just a whole bunch of garlic marinated beef.

That stinks!


Can that be trumped by screeners that are threatened by a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a gun?

Dear Natasha Morgan, Director, Tax Refunds Department, IRS

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

I really do not understand why you have chosen to stop mailing me and now start e-mailing me. To every single e-mail address I have. I can nothing but wonder how much money we taxpayers have to come up with again to fix the budget short comes you are creating here!

What is wrong with you?


I also do not understand how you were able to find all my e-mail addresses but failed in putting down the correct SSN. It is 111 22 3333 not 217 53 3569!

What is wrong with you?


I also kindly ask that you please:
  • Use an e-mail address that does not reply with “Recipient unknown”
  • That you avoid using phrases like fiscal activity—for crying out loud—even the commander guy wouldn’t know what the heck that is!
  • Explain what section 497 (c) (12) is. I know section 508 but 497??
  • Inform the hotline so that next time I call in I am neither greeted with laughter nor have to go thru hours of explanation that I am doing nothing else than answering to your e-mail.


Taxpayersly Yours
Frank Kanu
PS: Can I now please have my $439.54?

Who Does He Love More: Mom or Dad?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

One just has to love the language of the little ones…

Two days ago our little one said: “I love you one million dollar Mama.” and then to me: “I love you two miles Papa.”

Who does he love more: Mom or Dad?

Probably the most outstanding comment I ever got:


…



No link to another site, no nothing. In case it was a spammer—I don’t think any blogger will approve a comment like that, right?

Anybody has some other strange ones to share?
