Good morning crew,
The wife and I went to see our tax lady this weekend. It wasn't pretty. After figuring in last year's tax changes, and my few, pathetic deductions, we were left owing a sum that looks like a telephone number.
There goes money we had set aside to splurge on an overnighter in Indiana.
So at this point I have no choice. I'm going to have to change my withholdings. I can't afford to decimate my savings account every year, but that means there will be a lot less extra cash on a monthly basis for the little, creature comforts I'm used to; like beer and cheeseburgers and instant lottery tickets.
Ah, well, a lot of people my age hold three jobs.
Sitting in the car afterward the wife said to me, "After that I feel like I could use a drink."
"Me too," I told her, "but we can't afford it."
Laugh it up,
Joe

A man is sitting in a fancy restaurant when his food finally arrives at his table. As the plate is being served the man notices the waiter has his thumb resting on the edge of his steak.
"Umm, excuse me," the man says, "but I couldn't help but notice you had your thumb on my steak."
"Yes, I know, sir," the waiter responds, "but I didn't want to drop it again."
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Every ten years, the monks in the monastery are allowed to break their vow of silence with two words. Ten years go by and it's one monk's first chance to speak. He thinks for a while before saying, "Food bad."
Ten years later, he says, "Bed hard."
A decade later and it's the big day again. He gives the head monk a long stare and finally says, "I quit."
"I'm not surprised," the head monk says. "You've been complaining ever since you got here."
