You could not pay me enough to do that job....
I went my bank, which is located in a strip mall. I was waiting at the light when I noticed some person dressed up in a tacky Statue of Liberty costume handing out advertisments to cars at the light for a tax service. Okay. If that wasn't humiliating enough..It is like 26 degrees with a fifteen degree wind chill (cold for this area). Although I could see they had a ski mask on, the costume /toga wasn't conductive to wearing a thick jacket. How bad do you need work to do that..Ugh. Plus it didn't seem that safe to be walking in and around cars at the light considering how bad drivers are around here.....:scared:

1. There's a Statue of Liberty and an Uncle Sam at a tax place near me
This year's Uncle Sam sucks. Last year, Uncle Sam hung out on the corner with his iPod and kicked out all the jamz.

6. Seriously, I have heard it is a common problem.
Why would anyone volunteer to be in prison even if just to work?

9. The person who answers the phone at the US Census
Bureau taking calls from people who have received an American Community Survey to fill out.

In case you haven't had the pleasure, it's 28 pages long and you are required (by law) to divulge such information as whether you bathe yourself. I'm not making this up. It's for real.

14. Hey, we went to them last year
They do a good service. But last year, they had those folks standing out in subzero weather too. Every 15 minutes they'd run in to warm up.
