There was a man who computed his taxes for 1997 & found that he owed $3407.He packaged up his payment & included this letter:

Dear IRS:

Enclosed is my 1997 Tax Return & payment. Please take note of the attached article from the USA Today newspaper. In the article, you will see that the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat.

Please find enclosed four toilet seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029).

This brings my total payment to $3429.00. Please note the overpayment of $22.00 and apply it to the ''Presidential Election Fund,'' as noted on my return. Might I suggest you the send the above mentioned fund a ''1.5 inch screw.'' (See attached article...HUD paid $22.00 for a 1.5 inch Phillips Head Screw.)

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year. I just saw an article about the Pentagon and ''screwdrivers.''

Sincerely,

I. Getscrewed Everyear
