Sheeba the Cat Does Her Taxes

GiggleSugar — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:00:00 -0700

Remember Sheeba the cat? The last time we saw her, she wasn't feeling welI and sucked at playing the board game Risk. Apparently, she's not very good at taxes either, but I wouldn't mind if she did mine. We see her here with Dan, who marvels that she managed to calculate a $10,000 return, even though she didn't make much income this year (having been fired from Denny's and all).

A "Trip" to the Accountant

Founding member of Pink Floyd and patron saint of tortured artists everywhere, Syd Barrett was only in the band for about seven years before losing it. Shine on You Crazy Diamond was written for him, and this cartoon imagines trippy Syd with his accountant. Man, I don't even need drugs to space out like this when figures are thrown at me...

Vanilla Tax Tax Baby!

Yes, it's that time of year again: tax time. And who better to get you motivated than Vanilla Ice? There's no dodging Uncle Sam, or, apparently, Vanilla Ice. He's the new spokesperson for Turbo Tax and his raptastic fabulousness is supposed to inspire you to create your own tax rap for a chance to win $25,000 come April 15th. Not a bad payoff for selling your soul (and dignity) to an ice, cold has-been.

Tax day. We saw it coming a whole year ago, but as always, it managed to sneak up and scare the living wage out of most of us this past Wednesday. Were you rummaging through boxes of receipts and frantically scrambling to the post office at the very last minute? Shame on you! (Me too.) So how 'bout we get a head start on next year's day of dread and learn a thing or two about financial responsibility now? From a comedian.

Death, Taxes...and A Knee In the Package?

There are a few things that make me glad I'm not a dude; knowledge of what it feels like to have someone give me a "knee in the package" is one of them. (Although I do know the pain of paying taxes.) In this public service announcement spoof, the tax man doesn't just cometh, he--you guessed it--will knee you in the package.

Higher IQ Equals Better Sperm?

DearSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 07:30:00 -0800

When looking for the right guy, I'm sure you have a list of traits he must possess, such as a good sense of humor, attractive appearance, subtle sensitivity, and an honest heart. A smart guy is a plus, too; intelligence goes a long way in my book, and as it turns out, sharp guys can not only help with your taxes, but they may also help in the baby-making department. Studies show a connection between high IQ and high quality sperm. That means an intelligent man has a higher sperm count, and his sperm are strong, perfectly shaped, and good swimmers. All these characteristics make for one fertile dude, so if you're trying to get pregnant, you might have an easier time with a brainy guy!

Now that's not to say that a non-Harvard graduate has bad sperm. Other factors play into the quality of a man's swimmers, such as exercise, diet, genes, stress level, use of steroids, alcohol consumption, and tobacco and marijuana use. So even if your man isn't well-versed in Shakespeare or can't spell to save his life, he can still father your children - he just may not be able to help them with their geometry homework!

Obama and McCain Roast and Make Up at Al Smith Dinner

LibertySugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:00:33 -0700

Last night's Alfred Smith Dinner put on by Catholic Charities was exactly what we all needed to get through the last 18 days of this grueling election. After months/years of pretending to live in an alternate universe where their talking points define reality, Barack Obama and John McCain not only acknowledged the headlines we've all been reading, but did so with a dose of self-deprecating, and opponent-deprecating, humor. While it was swell to see the candidates having fun, I was most excited that I got to laugh at this campaign, rather than sigh in disbelief, frustration, or suspense.

Some of Obama highlights:

"Can somebody tell me what happened to the Greek columns I requested? I do love the Waldorf-Astoria. I hear from the doorstep you can see all the way to the Russian Tea Room.”
“Barack is actually Swahili for ‘that one.’ And I got my middle name from someone who obviously didn’t think I’d ever run for president."
“My greatest strength is my humility. My greatest weakness is that I am a little too awesome.”

Some of McCain's highlights:

"It's going to be a long, long night at MSNBC if I manage to pull this thing off. I understand that Keith Olbermann has ordered up his very own Mission Accomplished banner. And they can hang that in whatever padded room has been reserved for him."
Bill Clinton "has been hammering away with me with epithets like, "hero."
Says that Joe Biden falsely claims that Joe The Plumber isn't rich enough to trigger the Obama tax hike; "What they don't know is that Joe The Plumber recently signed a lucrative contract to handle all the work on all seven of their houses."

There are many, many, more good jokes. To see the video, read more.
