Friday Q&A

Questionable Taxation

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome back to another edition of the Friday Q&A. As always, I'm glad you stopped by. Unless you disagree with me about Photoshop. If that's the case, feel free to go darken some other corner of the Internet.
Like you.
Q: Did you pay your taxes?

A: You better believe it. My American readers will note that last Wednesday was April 15th, also known as tax day. I assume that my international friends pay their taxes differently. Perhaps they simply appease the local warlords with a few chickens or a plump goat. As a member of the civilized world, I've always felt that paying taxes is my patriotic duty. I get a burst of civic pride just from cramming those rolled up pennies into the mailbox.

Q: Is this blog profitable?


A: Absolutely! Even with an economic downturn, there's always a market for vitriolic bile. Sure, some of the smaller hate blogs have been shuttered, but the Clinic is a professional operation. You can tell by the way I always wash my hands before major surgery. Or at least try to rinse them off in a puddle.

Q: Did you claim some questionable deductions?

A: That's a matter for the courts to decide. Being patriotic means I don't have to pay the same amount as everyone else. It also means I'm technically classified as a church, and that I've faked my death three times this decade alone. I'm running desperately short of single-engine planes to crash in the wilderness.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. If you have a spare cathedral or Piper Cub, please forward details to my P.O. box in the Cayman Islands.

Stay tuned for more taxation evasion from the Doctor!
