Thanks to the reader who passed this joke along to me:
A couple of weeks after hearing a sermon on Psalms 51:2-4 and Psalms 52:3-4 (lies and deceit), a man wrote the following letter to the IRS:
I have been unable to sleep, knowing that I have cheated on my income tax. I understated my taxable income, and have enclosed a check for $150.00.
Sincerely,
TaxpayerP. S. If I still can’t sleep, I will send the rest.
I’m always happy to get jokes, stories and tax trivia from my readers. I’ll post it based on three important criteria: 1, relevancy (don’t just send lawyer jokes – I’ve probably heard them all); 2, content that is interesting or makes me laugh; and 3, it has to be clean enough to have my mother read it. If you have something too good to not share, pop on over to my sidebar and send me an email by following the “about taxgirl” links – I might even send you a cool taxgirl tee as thanks!
