DeliBlog

This is just a Cornucopia of everything thoughts, links, photos, email.... So step up to the counter, order a little quote with a link on the side. Or take an email hold the thoughts. It's the DeliBlog and no order will go unfilled. Seriously, I seem to have things posted everywhere. My goal is to consolidate everything into one area. I'm hoping it will help me get my thoughts together, find subjects that I can expand on and be of some use to someone.

Best use of tax payers funds

From the Middletown Journal (http://www.middletown.com):

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) - The city's tax superintendent has been suspended without pay for a week for trying to inject some humor in the city income tax filing instructions.

The forms - with such lines as, "If we can tax it, we will," - were sent last week to all Middletown businesses and residents who pay city income tax.

The attempt at humor by Linda Stubbs was called "misguided" by city Finance Director John Lyons.
Lyons said revised forms were sent out immediately at a cost to taxpayers of about $5,500.
Among the lines that city officials didn't think were very funny was this one:

"Free advice: if you don't have a profit in a five-year period, you might want to consider another line of work."
Middletown is about 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati.

Wouldn't it be great if everything that caused so much stress in your life had some humor packaged in.

Perhaps when a doctor needs you to use a little cup he could have the words "Pee Here" on the bottom of it with a Bulls eye around the words.


Or A Dentist office that has signs on the ceiling so when they put the chair back you could read "What did the tooth say to the departing dentist?...Fill me in when you get back."
