U.S. Tax Day cometh!!! Some taxing jokes for you.

• People who file their taxes on the first day are the grown-up version of the kids who ask the teacher for extra homework in school.

• I’m not going to pay taxes. When they say I’m going to prison, I’ll say ‘No, Prisons cost taxpayers a lot of money. You keep what it would have cost to incarcerate me, and we’ll call it even.’ (Jimmy Kimmel)

• Tax Day is the day that ordinary Americans send their money to Washington, D.C., and wealthy Americans send their money to the Cayman Islands. (Jimmy Kimmel)
• Death and Taxes: Of life’s two certainties taxes is the only one for which you can get an automatic extension.
• On my income tax Form 1040 it says “Check this box if you are blind.” I wanted to put a check mark about three inches away. (Tom Lehrer)
