How To Annoy Your IRS Agent         Mar 27, 1998

 Believe it or not, I actually have at least two IRS employees 
on my list. Back at my alma mater, IRS was the butt of all jokes.  
Oh oh.   I hope these IRS people aren't going to go after me 
now.  I'm shivering in my booties...     Not!

"How to Annoy the IRS" (Without Getting In Trouble!)

{It's definitely payback time - IRS has admitted to harassing us all 
these years.  Let's get 'em!}

 1.  Always put staples in the right hand corner.  Go ahead and put
them down the whole right side.  The extractors who remove the
mail from the envelopes have to take out any staples on the
right side.

 2.  Never arrange paperwork in the right order, or even facing the
right way.  Put a few upside down and backwards.  That way they
have to remove all your staples, rearrange your paperwork and
re-staple it (on the left side).

 3.  Line the bottom of your envelope with Elmer's glue and let it
dry before you put in you forms, so that the automated opener
doesn't open it and the extractor has to open it by hand.

 4.  If you're very unfortunate and have to pay taxes, send two or  
three party check.  On top of paying with a third party check,
pay one of the dollars you owe in cash.  When an extractor
receives cash, no matter how small an amount, he has to take it
to a special desk and fill out of few nasty forms.

 5.  Write a little letter of appreciation.  Any letter received has
to be read and stamped regardless of what it is or what it's on.

 6.  Write your letter on something misshapen and unconventional.
Like on the back of a Kroger sack.

 7.  When you mail it, mail it in a big envelope (even if its just a
single EZ form).  Big envelopes have to be torn and sorted
differently than regular business size ones.  An added bonus to
the big envelope is that they take priority over other mail, so
the workers can hurry up and deal with your mess.

 8.  If you send two checks, they'll have to staple your unsightly
envelope to your half destroyed form.

9.  Always put extra paper clips on your forms.  Any foreign
fasteners or the like have to be removed and put away.

10.  Sign your name in ink on every page.  Any signature has to be
verified and then date stamped.

These are just a few of the fun and exciting things you can do with
the IRS.  These methods are ONLY recommended when you owe 
money.
