Ahh, the kinder, gentler IRS. I remember 1994, the one year I actually owed tax (vs getting a refund for tax overpaid). I'd just gotten my Jury Duty check, and signed it over to the Treasury to pay the overdue amount. It bounced around the IRS for 6 weeks, then was returned to me, uncashed, with a bill for more money for penalties and late fees.

If I'd only been appointed to the Cabinet, I wouldn't have had such troubles.
