The Buck Stops Here! Krystine Rivera, 23,
an administrative analyst thought going out or
a run would make her feel better after a
rough day at work. But after running fie
miles, she suddenly found herself on the
ground and then awakening to the voice of a
paramedic explaining that he had to cut her
shirt away ―because it had deer blood all over
it.‖ She’s been hit by a flying buck. The male
deer had been flung into the ir by an SUV
driven by a 71 year old woman. The buck
died. Rivera, 5 feet tall and humorously
known as ―The Hulk‖ was treated and released, as was the driver. ―A lot of people
fling bucks around that aren’t theirs.‖

LOS ANGELES TIMES, October 8
People of northwestern Montana have been advised to be on the lookout for drunken bears. Black bears and grizzlies have been congregating along the tracks of the Burlington Northern railroad where a
train carrying hundreds of tons of corn derailed some time ago. The
corn has fermented and the aroma is attracting the bears. ―The bears
are actually intoxicated up there,‖ said wildlife biologist Loren Hicks.
―And a grizzly with a hangover can be as cross as a bear.‖

No Sir, the government does not want
you to pay your taxes in pennies.
I have a hard time believing that a
garbage collector made $150,000 last
year so for the last time, DID YOU
HAVE ANY OTHER SOURCE OF
INCOME!!!
How cute...a tax form done in crayon.
No Sir, its do your taxes every year
and renew your driver’s license every
4 years, not the other way around.
Just because you talk to your plants
ma’am, you cannot, repeat CANNOT
list them as your dependents.
No Ms Lewinsky, your oval office
―contributions‖ are not the same as
when you check the dollar box at the
top of your 1040 form.
Even if you are a hooker, the number
of orgasms you’ve had cannot count
as a business expense.
I,m sorry, I’m not sure I follow your
―Give me an extension and I’ll give you
an extension later at my place
―argument.‖
I take it that because you have decided to do origami with your tax form
that you’re not receptive to paying
your taxes this year.
