Carver) Date: 2 Apr 92 00:30:05 GMT Keywords: topical, chuckle Approved: funny@clarinet.com Lines: 113 Since it's THAT time of year, I thought people might need a copy of this year's tax form (this is the short form). Just fill it out and send it in. Some of the following is original, the rest has been gathered from various sources over the years. Note: it's a full 80 characters wide and may be displayed with extra blank lines by some notes/news readers. If so, it'll look better printed.
