Wizard of Id Classics by Parker and Hart for November 04, 2023

I think he means, “When I came to you in the first place, I was rich.”

When there’s charity money moving around, the administrators make sure they get their cut first.

He’s now in a taxing position. Because of the tax man’s position….

Fink has his own poor box? Bet he gets ‘shorted’ on that a lot.

The kingdom of Id is so poor that even the boxes are poor!

I knew a woman who became so poor she couldn’t even afford to be a professional destitute.

Confusing terms. Guess he means before taxes, he was rich.
