The best laugh I ever had was when the cretins from the Inland Revenue took me to court over an amount of £200 they claimed I owed them. I let them and it transpired that not only did I not owe them anything, but they owed me £600. I’m not one for watching people writhe in discomfort but I happily did so on that occasion. They were full of apology and “if only we had known” platitudes. I told them to go and take a hike but not in such a polite form.
Wrote a check to the IRS payable to the “InFernal Revenue Service” and the funds quickly came out of our account. Weeks later we got a letter from them threatening action for not making the check out to them properly because they were not the Infernal RS. We wrote back threatening action because they cashed a check that was not made out to them. Never heard another word.
I loved this strip, it takes a while for the punchline, but its worth it. Did you know that’s illegal for the government to collect taxes, unless we are in a state of emergency. Every sitting president since Roosevelt (i think Roosevelt) has signed a document to declare a state of emergency as their real first act.

If it’s from the IRS, you’re in serious trouble. First you’ll have to prove that you’re only 6 years old…

This is one of the funniest strips out there. If I saw a letter like that I’d think it was the IRS too.
