Accountant: Every penny of your hard-earned tax money is going to the people this year, Cathy! Cathy: Thank heavens! The hungry people? The needy people? Accountant: The exclamation point people! Cathy: I beg your pardon? Accountant: The people who added all the cheery new exclamation points to the IRS instruction books! See? "IRA Deduction Increased!" "Free e-file options!" "Electronic signatures!" They're all over the place! Because of you, millions of people have seen all the exclamation points and felt happier and more excited about doing their taxes! Cathy: My tax dollars paid for instruction book exclamation points??!! Accountant: No, no, no...

Just this past Wednesday, Cathy gave her accountant a list of 348 C.P.A.‘s that charge less than he does. So why on earth is she still continuing to take her business to this nut-job??? By going somewhere else, maybe she can get someone normal to do the job who’s just as good as this guy [supposedly] is AND she’d pay less for the exact same service. Win-win!!!
Hi, rgcviper! I think mine just exploded, too!!! ;-)
lightenup: Thanks! I thought it was pretty funny, too. Even though I love her to death, some days Cathy just has a way of making me feel that way!!! ;-)
Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope everyone’s had a really nice weekend so far.

Member, Hollywood Women Political CommitteeIf the issue about women not being in combat and being Commander-in-Chief, highlight Jennifer Moreno, Captain, United States Army. Killed in combat, she was awarded the Silver Star with Combat Clusters.We don’t have leave flowers on her grave. Her Mexican mother always leaves flowers.Her Silver Star was not mentioned in the local newspaper. If it had been a white male, it would have been in the front page. Governor Brown had the flags at the State Capital at half mast.My father was one of the “Grassroots Publishers” who helped reelect Nixon in 1972. I asked him how could support Nixon. “He scratches my back, I scratch his back”. I refused to go to the White House when my father was invited after Nixon’s reelection.Funny, I sat on Yankee Station, Gulf of Tonkin so Nixon could get his piece of paper from the Vietnamese.Although I learned from a Grand Master, I have no stomach for the Game.

I think the issue is job protection. I see too many jobs being outsourced overseas. No one is auditing to see positions that Americans could be filled are going foreign workers easily brought in by corporations under a liberal immigration laws for them.

My wife is Miss Organization. A tiny woman who just perfect about where things should go and when it should be done. She is picky, picky, and picky. She plans day. I just yell at because I don’t hear her. I told her to poke me to get my attention. 40 years. We are two grumpy bears.
