Holy gamma rays Batman!!!

Holy Gamma Rays Batman!!! Spent this past Saturday morning fishing with my brother-in-law. Let’s just say I didn’t expect to get much sun, but ended up frying my arms and the tops of my hands. Had a good time, started off the day with Albert catching a 4.10lb catfish without the benefit of his reel, pulled the thing in with his bare hands. After about 4 hours, we had caught 42 fish between us, I’ll be honest, the majority of those were Albert’s. I kept having problems with my pole not casting well (I know, I know, excuses, excuses).

Did you see those worms!! Not sure if you can tell in the picture, but those bad boys glow in the dark! They’re some kind of hybrid, I doubt they’re injected with anything giving the huge manual labor undertaking that would involve. Basically, they’ve got that glow-stick green fluid in them. Folks! We can’t cure cancer, but we can make fish bait glow in the dark!!!

Ah, the taxman cometh!!!

It’s here, that time of year that the majority of everyone seems to dread. Not sure why, I always get my tax return done pretty quickly. Good ‘ol Microsoft Money and TaxCut and it’s done in a snap. (And now back to our regularly scheduled program) Was just reading in Reader’s Digest (man this whole post is like one big commercial), and stumbled across these little end of the story taggers. One was a tax rule that states “Illegal income, such as stolen or embezzled funds, must be included in your gross income on line 21 of Form 1040, or on Schedule C-EZ if from your self-employment activity.” CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT! It’s actually written down, legitimate tax law. You know what’s even more amazing! We actually paid people to come up with that rule and put it in there. Some things are just messed up!!!

Get this too, did you know there are legitimate tax deductions for illegal activities? Check these out: Hitman-bullets, mileage for driving to target; Counterfeiter-printing press, green ink, paper; Moonshiner-corn, wire coils for still; Arsonist-matches, rags; Cattle rustler-rope.

Messed up folks! Some things are just MESSED UP!
