Why Do People Resort to Lives of Crime?

Usually because they're stupid.



I found this to be a particularly hilarious example of an email scam. Leaving out the obvious problem that my tax refund was NOT $189.60, the most glaring giveaway was the numerous grammatical and spelling errors. I mean, really. Would the IRS send out an email that spelled "you" as "u"? I didn't realize our public tax servants had all been replaced by text-happy 16-year-olds.

This guy has some other insights from a tax standpoint, but they aren't as interesting to me as the grammar mistakes.

You'd think the one of the writers from "The Daily Show" could have proofread that for him.

This looks like a formal writing assignment one of my Freshmen would submit!
