[geeks] Tax Weirdness

[Mike Hebel]

Hmph!  You'd probably get laughter out of most government employees
I've ever dealt with - especially at DOD/military related places.

Maybe I'm the exception but most "gubment" (not government - there is
a difference) employees I've dealt with, in person or on the phone,
have given me nothing but the attitude that I should just do
everything they say and bend over and be a nice sheep.

I'm not a sheep, nor will I be fscked like one.
