If the IRS had discovered the quadratic formula. . .
This is hilarious. Filling out my taxes this year, I felt like an overgrown preschooler doing a gigantic worksheet that made little sense. Now take your purple crayon and circle all the boxes that are labelled with an odd number. It really is laughable how funny a 1040 form reads, and how complicated it is! I guess it all comes together in the end, but not very coherently. The annual April ritual is yet another reason I favor a national sales tax that would render the current tax code obsolete. Ah well. Meanwhile, read this worksheet for a laugh.

That is quite fun. Thanks for the link!
In Christ.
Aha! The quadratic formula makes sense to me now!
I decided after this year that next time, I am having my mom (the accountant) do my taxes. Either that or tell my boss that I don't want a bonus; it just makes things more confusing.
Actually, Becky, I have posts on writing and reading that have been simmering in my draft folder for a few weeks :). Those are two other things that I dearly love, largely due to my childhood experiences.
