Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for September 27, 2021

If genies were real, and if I was lucky enough to pop one out of a lamp, I believe my wish would be for 10 times more wealth than all the billionaires and all the millionaires added together.

This is a very old joke. I’ve seen it in a few animated cartoons.

Just wish for a Billion dollars associated with 100 lawyers

Each lawyer gets 1 million dollars as recompense and you end up with 900 million dollars scott free!

There was a Batman cartoon where the Joker said “I may be crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? No thank you!”

Best way to phrase it is “I wish to have a million dollars after all taxes and expenses have already been paid”

You always get exactly what you wish for, words and their meanings are very very important.

Always remember, Broomie, Uncle Sam gets his cut!

Sounds about right.

Husband does our taxes. He had a prolonged argument with the IRS several years ago when they said we owed them $10,000. He wrote them many letters explaining their error(s)…meanwhile, penalties and interest were adding up. We finally went to the local office and met with their representative, who went through the records and finally agreed that we did not owe them anything and then asked my husband to please not write them any more letters.

The Eternal Revenue Service

He looks more like a crime syndicates goon…

With a million dollars, that makes you a 1 percenter, so you don’t have to pay taxes.

Should have wished to inherit money, Broomie: you would’ve gotten the first $11.7 million tax free.

The new tax form for 2021 earnings. Just two lines on it -- How much money did your earn in 2021? Send it in.

In-genie-ous IRS. You can’t win, Broomie. Don’t even try….

If genies were real, I’d wish for it’s powers without needing to have a master. Mwaa haa haa!
