Hugh, that was so funny.  Sorry, I couldn't help but laughing at that conversation.

  I pay my taxes direct.

  This is how my conversation with our local town tax department went:

  Me: "I don't have a bill for this quarter's taxes."
  Clerk: "They have not been sent out yet."
  Me: "Aren't they due on January 10th?"
  Clerk: "Yes."
  Me: "Can you tell me the amount so I cvan pay it?"
  Clerk: "No. You can't pay without the bill."
  Me: "When will bills be sent?"
  Clerk: "later this month."
  Me: "Will there be a late fee."
  Clerk:" Of course. All the taxes will be paid late because we sent the bills out late. The law says we must charge a late fee if they are paid late."
  Me: "Who made that law".
  Clerk: "We did."

  There really should be a license people need before they are allowed to breed!


  Hugh
