WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

From my girlfriend Zhana:

To: Internal Revenue Service Department of the Treasury Washington, DC 20001

Enclosed is my 2004 Form 1040, together with payment. Please take note of  the attached article from "USA Today" archives. In the article, you will  note that the Pentagon paid $171.50 each for hammers and NASA paid $600.00  each for toilet seats.

Please find enclosed in this package four toilet seats (value $2,400.00) and  six hammers (value $1,029.00). This is in payment for my total tax due of $3,429.00. Out of a sense of patriotic duty, and to assist in the political  purification of our government, I am also enclosing a 1.5 inch Phillips head  screw, for which HUD duly recorded and approved a purchase value of $2200,  as my contribution to fulfill the Presidential Election Fund option on Form 1040.

It has been a pleasure to pay my taxes this year, and I look forward to paying them again next year in accordance with officially established government values.

Sincerely, Another satisfied taxpayer
