TAX HUMOR - from my brother-in-law

Dear Internal Revenue Service:
 
Enclosed you will find my 2010 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
