  1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    I don’t know which looks more appalled, Matthew Perry or Mira Sorvino.

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      His expression reads more like “What am I doing in the same room with a peasant?”

    2. Libertarian   10 years ago

      Hard to say when Christopher Hitchens is your CPA.

      1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

        Looked to me more like Ben from Veep

        1. Cdr Lytton   10 years ago

          Clearly Jim Belushi, Michael Keaton, and Monica Seles.

          So they got … SLAPPED … with an audit?

          Happy Friday everyone!

          1. Rich   10 years ago

            *hack!* *slap!*

            1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

              *slap!*

              1. Almanian!   10 years ago

                *SLAP!*

                1. straffinrun   10 years ago

                  *Slap* skip ahead to 4:23 and mute.

    3. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

      I thought it was James Wood

      1. Swiss Servator...burn B??gg!   10 years ago

        Brezhnev with better eyebrow trimming?

  2. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

    If you were a tax-exempt non-profit, what would your purpose? Mine would be to ensure each needy libertarian got a care package of a basic, cheap top hat, monocle, spats and orphan*

    * may not be an actual orphan

    1. Libertarian   10 years ago

      Fine Print:

      Photo of orphan for illustration purposes only. IFH reserves right to provide similar orphan of equal or greater value. Photo enlarged to show detail.

      1. l0b0t   10 years ago

        Part of a balanced breakfast

        Serving suggestion

        Orphans are sold by weight, not volume; contents may have shifted during shipping.

  3. PH2050   10 years ago

    What is that creature latched onto the IRS guy’s back?

    New Star Wars movie trailer came out yesterday. Another new trailer comes out today.

    1. Libertarian   10 years ago

      Puppet Masters have taken over the IRS. It all makes sense now.

      1. PH2050   10 years ago

        Must…not…fall…asleep…

        1. Swiss Servator...burn B??gg!   10 years ago

          WRONG MOVIE!

          *pedantic glare*

    2. straffinrun   10 years ago

      My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. Better call Chris Christy.

    3. soflarider   10 years ago

      Obviously it’s the hair that used to grow on his head, fashioned into a mohawk of sorts.

    4. plusafdotcom   10 years ago

      Rebreather/converter pack that allows space alien to survive in oxygen-rich atmosphere…

  4. Rich   10 years ago

    The TIPS jar is a nice touch; but I suspect this is more common.

    1. Rhywun   10 years ago

      I was thinking of a gom jabbar myself.

  5. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

    Bok is back! And he’s mad as hell.

    1. Swiss Servator...burn B??gg!   10 years ago

      I am so happy…

      *slightly disappointed look*

      1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

        *slightly disappointed look*

        Needz moar labelz

        1. Swiss Servator...burn B??gg!   10 years ago

          Always, ifh, always.

  6. Almanian!   10 years ago

    So…..Squiggy and a young Penny Marshall are getting schooled by….reanimated, younger Gerald Ford?

    I actually don’t get this one. Horrible. Therefore – perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. May you all suffer an extended period of tachycardia due to stress from thinking about the IRS, which does not abate, thereby killing you after a few hours of excruciating chest pain.

    1. Swiss Servator...burn B??gg!   10 years ago

      Is the eagle in the IRS logo flipping everyone off?

      1. Dark Lord of the Cis   10 years ago

        That should totally be the new logo for the IRS. It would be so, fitting.

        1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

          The current vulture is so apt though.

  7. sloopyinTEXAS   10 years ago

    The eagle on the wall is gonna have serious back problems if she doesn’t get a bra with better support.

  8. creech   10 years ago

    My son’s refund was hacked this year and the IRS discovered it and notified him they had stopped processing the refund. But that includes stopping processing his legitimate refund, too. He’s been told it will be up to six months before he sees his money.

  9. Duelles   10 years ago

    So in an audit I saw “Vonderbank” written on the side of the calculator. I remarked, ” is that some funny take off on “vonder kinde?” Well no! That was his last name. It went very well after that. I actually prevailed because I was honest and they had no friggin’ clue.
