I just had to complete a W-9, which is one of those most annoying forms that all the businesses that you do business with want a copy of and that you make so many copies of to send out that eventually the original copy can

About Wanda Argersinger
Too funny. Several years ago I had an issue with the IRS. They kept sending me threatening letters for something I was not guilty of. I would write to them, and they would (eventually) reply that they were behind and I should not attempt to reply to them for at least 6 months. That would be followed by more of the threatening letters. An attempt to call their toll free number was usually met with a message that the waiting time was something up to 13 hours. I finally decided if I waited long enough, they might send an agent to the door. Sure enough, after more than a year, a man appeared at my door, waving his badge, saying that he was from the IRS. I greeted him with, “Finally. I’ve been waiting for you, it seems like forever.” Obviously, that isn’t the usual greeting he gets. I was afraid he was going to go into shock. The look on his face reminded me of the time when I was in Bible college and on house calls in the neighborhood to invite people to our church. One man said, “Are you Jehovah’s witnesses?” The fellow I was paired up with proudly said, “No.” The resident grabbed us each by a hand, pulled us inside, then locked the door behind us as he said, “Good. I am.” We almost missed the bus back to school that day!
Both stories are hysterical! Thank you so much for giving my week a great kickoff!
I would have signed it H.R. Clinton.
Too, too funny, Wanda. I’ve had “meetings” with the IRS too. I guess they get us all sometime. If we could only find a way to speed up the Veterans Admin!
Janet, you should post that story on your blog.
HA!!! Priceless.
Maybe it stands for “Unusually Sexy” Person. 😉
You said all the things we think when we see the Utterly Stupid stuff supossedly intelligent people put out to the public. I’m going to see if I can get you a job app, so you can straighten things out there.
Thanks for the laffs
