Where do they find these kids, and why do they keep sending them to me?
I recently received a postcard in the mail from the IRS. Rather than picturesque scenes of Maui, it was a bland white card with black lettering. Here's the text:
Dear Taxpayer,

You recently received a 2003 1040 Forms and Instructions Booklet
which included a peel-off label with your name and address to be
used on your return. As a result of concerns that the peel-off label
may not peel off easily, we are providing you with an additional
label to use if needed. We want to apologize for any
inconvenience.

Alright, first off, never leave a line with only one word on it - that just looks awkward.

Secondly, if people are unable to correctly peel off the original label, why send out another one? Does the IRS really revel in making normal citizens look like fools twice? (don't answer that).

Thirdly, if you are too stupid to know how to peel off a label from an IRS booklet, how in the hell did you manage to survive up until a point where you are actually earning money in a real job? It's a label people. It's not that hard. And anyway, if you can't peel it off, just write in your freaking name.

I'm just waiting for the next postcard from the IRS:
Dear Taxpayer:

You're retarded.
