What the hell happened?

Kind of reminded me of a prior post:

"An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview him.


"Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."



The chief nodded that it was so.



The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"



The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied.......................



"When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex."



Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that"."

Not all humor applies to everyone ;)

John, any list of taxes is inherently not funny! I have no idea why you posted yours in the "Laughter" forum. Perhaps you have been distracted lately???

Unless you're a tax lawyer, accountant, etc, in which case our complex tax codes and laws will leave you laughing all the way to the bank!
