In honor of tax day, Here are some IRS jokes I just read. We pay 50% of our income in taxes living in Germany. Know matter how hard the US government taxes you, I bet Germany does it better (squeezes us that is).

One day, at a local buffet, a man suddenly called out, "My son's choking! He swallowed a quarter! Help! Please, anyone! Help!"

A man from a nearby table stood up and announced that he was quite experienced at this sort of thing. He stepped over with almost no look of concern at all, wrapped his arms around the boy, and squeezed. Out popped the quarter. The man then went back to his table as though nothing had happened.

"Thank you! Thank you!" the father cried. "Are you a paramedic?"

"No," replied the man. "I work for the IRS."

The man replied, "I'm an IRS Agent
