Dear Hungry People,

I realize you're on the "have-not" side of the digital divide, and you won't have access to read this, but I still felt a need to apologize someplace, so maybe this will 'trickle down' to you.

I won't be giving any more handouts on the street this year. I simply can't afford it.

I gave $2346 in handounts in 2005, as near as I can figure it, and it turns out i was supposed to give the money, not to you, hungry citizens, but to charitable organizations such as:

2002 US Figure Skating Championships Inc.
22nd Bomb Squadron Association
Abhinaya Dance Company of San Jose Inc.
Advanced Tennis Research Project
Donnie Moore Ministries Inc.
Flaslight Productions (yes, i realize they spelled that wrong)
Grand Council of the Iloilo Circle
Human Potential Research Institute
Life in Him Ministries
Nigerian Association of Central California
Research Institute for Buddhalogy Light and Color Energy Incorporate
Stockton Mavericks Inc.
Uss Ranger Museum Foundation

by giving you money to eat, I have to pay another $986 in taxes, rather than getting a $282 refund. :(

For the rest of the year, I will keep a list of these organizations, and when you need a cup of coffee or something to eat, feel free to call them; I am willing to loan my cell phone or arrange for a pay phone to be used. I'm sure they can and will serve your immediate needs as well as $4 would.

Yours,

Taco Rubio

So did you donate money to United Way thinking they help people who really need it? I'm sorry they tricked you too (if it was indeed them) :(

While I don't aspire to be a politician of any sort, I do use the same 'additional payment' methods of them to keep my taxes to a minimum.
I'm still working on the 'really expensive items' payments, but getting paid under the table works as well.

And it has! I skipped breakfast this morning and therefore am fully qualified to figuratively represent the world's hunger crisis. You will be hearing from our attorney(s). :mad:

Homeless Guy: Do you have any spare change?
Fletcher: mm-hmmm
Homeless Guy: Could you spare some?
Fletcher: Yes, I could!
Homeless Guy: Will you? (Fletcher shakes head) Why not?
Fletcher: Because I believe that you will buy booze with it. I just want to get from my car to the office without being hackled by the decaying mass of western society! That, plus I'm cheap.

Liar, Liar.

Homeless Guy: Do you have any change?
Fletcher: how do I know you wont use it to buy booze?
Homeless Guy: Oh, I can assure you that I'm going to use it for food.
Fletcher: How do i know that?
Homeless Guy: *holds out a wad of cash* 'caues I've already got money for booze.
