Income Tax

the Harold Perry show! And now... Harold Perry has honest Harold, the home maker. So, the month of March brings cold winds, and the Big Blow income tax returns.

Our friend, Honest Harold, is following the good old American custom, getting his return in on the last day. It's the morning of March 15th, and we find Harold just finishing making out his form. Well, that just about does it.

Let's see. Better make sure I get down all my income. There's my salary. That sure didn't take up much space. I put down that Christmas bonus the radio station gave me. Three Vaughn Monroe Records.

Well, guess that's all the income I have to declare. Oh, I did get a 50 cent refund on those old Citroen Ella bottles, grandpa left down the cellar. Nah, the government wouldn't be interested in that.

Still working on your income tax, Harold. I just finished it, mother. Nah, I don't see how you do it. Filling out that complicated form all by yourself. Oh, it really wasn't much, mother. All it takes is a little intelligence.

The keen mind, hair, trigger thinking. Oh, yes, sir. It's a wonderful feeling, though, having your income tax all made out, mother. And I don't want to be late with it. The government needs the money, you know.

How much are you sending to government? Hmm? Oh, I get a refund of $1.60. $1. Harold, I just thought of something. What's that money? I wonder if I have to pay income tax this year.

Mother, what income did you have? Well, it wasn't exactly income. I created a chocolate cake for a pillar with Washington, DC, embroidered on it. Yes. A pillar with Washington, DC? What's that got to do with income tax?
