Here's a piece from Yahoo that covers a bit of the new book Dave Barry's Money Secrets. I wanted to share some of Dave's funny takes on money -- they're perfect for a Friday post. Here are a couple good quotes:
Here's a tax-saving opportunity few taxpayers take advantage of: Instead of simply writing your name, write your name plus the word DECEASED.
The gross national product is several trillion dollars, of which one-third is sent to the government in the form of taxes for the express purpose of being wasted. Another third goes directly to Bill Gates. The remaining third is divided up into wages and prices, which go up and sometimes, in the case of wages, down, in response to the law of supply and demand, which states that if there are fewer than two outs with runners on first and second base ... no, sorry, that's the infield-fly rule.
Cute. If you're looking for some lighter, money-related reading Dave Barry's Money Secrets might be just what you're looking for.
what would writing deceased do? it's not like they'd accept that as proof of death... :)
