The Last Nickel

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied.

Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels, and starts slapping him on the back.

The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help.

A well-dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at the coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's' testicles, and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first, and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.

Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father, and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before. It was fantastic. Are you a doctor? "

"No," the woman replied, "I'm with the I.R.S."

That is the way the story came to me, but actually, when the last nickel was coughed up, the IRS lady put it in her pocket instead of returning it to the father.  No, wait!!  She had the father fill out several forms declaring under penalty of perjury that the nickel was "taxable income from a recovered asset."

..... OR .....

In the version **I** heard,

The woman then charges the kid and the dad for conspiring to felony tax evasion, No wait! -- she lets the kid choke AND DIE so as to make a great public example about those that would dare to use their children to illegally conceal family assets from the Government, No wait!,

After the choking incident ends, the woman, while sipping a latte, logs onto the IRS computers from her laptop, pulls up Dad's Form 1040 from tax year 2010, and finds not only is Dad *per se* statutorily guilty and criminally negligent for failing to provide his family health insurance under mandatory Obamba-Care regulations, she assesses Dad $750 for the unpaid health tax (plus an additional [estimated] $284,347 in "deficiences", interest and penalties) and then calls CPS (Child Protection Services) which arrives, seizes the kid from the restaraunt table, and places the child in foster care, never to see his (real) parents again.

Dad, stricken with grief of these personal life traumas,
drives to his church, seeking the Love and community support of his church and pastor, Our Lady of Forgiveness, only to find the chruch doors bolted shut and a large IRS Notice nailed to the door, warning the public that the church has been seized for non-payment of income taxes pursuant to an IRS *administrative* revocation of its 501(c)3 "license" for the pastor's public sermons about resisting the evils of unchecked government (which the federal courts have long held IS a "political" question, and thereby verbotten under 501(c)3).

Believe it or not, Dad, now stunned and numb from the run-in with female IRS agent at the restaraunt -- quickly drives toward home (but not before stopping for couple of much needed cold ones) arriving to find an IRS/ATF SWAT team at his house, just starting to execute search and arrest Warrants against his wife (and her allegedly "pinko" coffee-clatch friends) for several little-known federal "crimes" including "felony seditiouos conspiracy" and "felony impedement in the official collection of a tax" for their repeated, interstate emailing of judicially-censored copies of outlaw prisoner Irwin Schiff's book "The Federal Mafia" as well as WTP's nefarious, and most seditious "Blue Folder".

Making this a REALLY bad day the family won't ever forget, is the fact that while walking up the drive to his own front porch, Dad is (accidentially ;-) wink-wink) shot dead by IRS/ATF SWAT Team members after one of them thinks he might see what, in retrospect was simple error, appears to look like a small sidearm (or some other unknown weapon or threat) in Dad's belt.

Unfortunately for the Dad, the ATF agents, naturally preferring well-armed brawn over continuing professional education beyond their basic community college "Law Enforcement" curriculum, had never read our Constitution, the Supreme Court's Heller decision or any of 48 state founding charters or statutes which currently permit legal, open carry of a firearm. Oh well. They'll probably get it right next time.

The REALLY WEIRD part about all this though, is the ONLY reason the Dad had apparently even taken the kid to the restaruaunt in the first place, was that he had lost his job earlier that week (as a result of Obama's economic and bailout policies), and had decided to treat his kid to a "last supper" of sorts with his remaining financial resources-- courtesy of MasterCard and the fed's magical electronic fiat currency.

So maybe, just maybe, "they" are right.  What's the real lesson here? Maybe the PTB do know the REAL dangers of money coined out of metals.  Maybe Dad should've NEVER let his kids even play with those damn nickels.

As I think about it even more, the whole ugly story kinda just chokes me up.
