Suddenly… he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog.He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl’s life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: “You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: “Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl”
The man says: But I am not a New Yorker!”
“Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning: ‘Brave
American saves life of little girl”
the policeman answers.
“But I am not an American!” says the man.
“Oh, what are you
then?”
The man says: “I am a Saudi !”
The next day the newspapers says: “Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog.
I find it very funny, in the IRS.gov website, there is a note mentionning to report your illegal income when filling in your tax return:
Illegal income. Illegal income, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.
I’m wondering if people are filling their legal income to report their illegal one ?
