♦ As a CPA I have learned and continue to learn that I do not know what I do not know and that buying technology to help me get there faster is akin to using speed dial to dial wrong numbers faster. John Dillard 2-1-10

♦ Mark tossed me several pounds worth of IRS instructions which apparently were written in Swahili. Then he left for work, hoping to earn enough money to pay our tax bill. Madeleine Begun Kane.

– A. It is a guy who will tell you 30 ways to make love but does not know any girls.

♦ “He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know.” – Abraham Lincoln
