why not?
there is an ass for every seat.

Man.... i never get that lucky.

i guess it's hard to fill out the paperwork when you're DEAD

What if you are just spending the year dead for tax purposes?

Right, because the FBI always e-mails you instead of calling or coming to your door when dealing with a serious crime..:D

Sorry to hear about your death.
How's the internet access in heaven (or hell)?

I thought this was going to be a thread about global warming ;)

Since he is from Canada, I should be able to pay him in Cdn$ and save the Bank conversion fee :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

In my mind it would be the simple ruse that would get the job done. I couldn't even finish reading that.

When I was young, I was told at a party that someone was director Hoover. Couldn't be sure though, looked more like a very ugly Rosie O'Donell.

Not someone I'd probably follow. The Bank of Tuvalu is much safer for such transanctions free from IRS scrutiny.

Sorry to hear of your death. It does make you eligible to vote Democratic though. At least a few times each election.

I got my notice from the Mr. Robert S. Mueller III today.

Does anyone in Nigeria have a legitimate job?

I had one similar to that, except it was my sister who died, and they accidentally had the name correct. I forwarded it to her with my condolences at her passing...

Yes, bartenders.

Yeah, I also thought I saw the word "Nigeria" in there somewhere.

I don't think "it's a good thing", when you get a S.T.D. notice.
