Ach! Taxes are *so* boring! Especially if you don't pay them.

(Ok, things are different in Germany, because you pay and there are
still no kindergardens, schools, public swimming baths, public
libraries, proper health care and autobahns and all the other

should have done it, if not a cultured woman?
