Not that I actually would... But I can't say I did not fantasize doing this.... Fifty year old Rose Karuna sat composed but uncomfortable on the hard chair in the lobby of the local IRS office. Her back was straight and her conscience clear, the large yellow envelope on her lap contained the proof that her taxes had been paid not just once, but twice, plus a 50% penalty. She wore a simple size 10 Eddie Bauer Jean Skirt, a T-shirt with a home embroidered rose and scuffed Chinese Laundry flats that looked about ten years old. She brushed a strand of partially grey hair back into her simple pony tail and took a second look at her sadly bitten finger nails. Nevertheless, the bureaucratic receptionist eyed her with contempt, instantly categorizing her as another yuppie slacker certain to whine about some unreasonable deadline. That’s why Rose was sure it surprised her when she walked up to her station, presented her with a yellow envelope, and then calmly pulled the exacto-knife out of her purse and cut her own arm in a vertical motion beginning from her wrist moving all the way to her elbow. Rose smiled politely and apologized for the grisly mess and was careful to hold the envelope up while she cut the artery so that it did not spurt blood on the contemptible clerk. It was of course, the only way to pay them in full. Fu*kers.

LOL - If I was less of an engineer and believed in astrology, I'd think that the planets were lined up against me this year. I'll be glad when 2006 rolls around because every freakin thing I've tried to do this year has been like pulling teeth.
Even paying the bloody IRS.

Do you think that they would actually give me the piece of paper that says "paid in full" that they have been supposed to give me for the last year if I actually DID do this? 'cause if so.... maybe I should consider it It would at least wipe the smirk off their face. maybe. then again, it might have them doing the "happy dance" in the lunch room. hmmm have to re-think that one. .
