ofessor Black: As if the 10-40 form wasn't enough, there are other forms to fill out. Written in a language that has no nouns! Now because I'm self-employed, that's what they call this, 'self-employed' as opposed to 'needs psychiatric care,' I have to fill out another form. IBQ-30-kiss-my-dick!

ofessor Black: Now for the past fifteen years I've attempted to fill out this form, and there's one question and every time I read that question, I drift away. The question is 'What is your non-farm income?' What is my non-farm income? That implies I own a farm! I wonder when that happened. I know I used to do a lot of drugs but I think I'd remember the purchase of farmland! But I'd have to do a lot of drugs to buy a farm because God knows I'm not a man of the soil. It's just by the grace of God I can wipe myself!

ofessor Black: If taxes are so important, and taxes are math, how come nobody in the history of this country has taught taxes in a math class? No! Instead they teach you stuff like Geometry which is no help at all. I still can't play pool!

ofessor Black: Just do what I do. Pour yourself a stiff drink. Get into a tub and touch yourself in all of your dirty little places. At least for once it won't be the government screwing with you.
