Chef Jim Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Intersting IRS issue. If she gets the $900,000 I wonder how it will be taxed. If as ordinary income it would be nearly 50% state and Fed. If cap gains it would be 30%. If she sold it to the highest bidder as is normal she'd net out $630k. If as income it would be about $450k. I hope she thought that part through. Edited March 10, 2015 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Don't anyone tell him until he admits there's life on Jupiter Even if I told you I have another video of Beerboy which would be the talk of OTW for months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Please go on...expand on this thought. You need more? It involves Sammy, Carl and Irwin Dwyer but Beerboy does not know it exists. As for the Mars Haiku: There once was a green man from Mars his name translated to Lars he didn't exist but he still had a tryst with imagined chicks from the stars It's like porno for 4-ever Edited March 11, 2015 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here's my entry. When I win the house, I'll have you all up for a DRAFT party: "Listen up you old hag! This is nothing more than a publicity stunt to try and garner attention, a Lifetime movie deal and a tax write off. I tried to do the same thing with my 110 lb yellow lab...the damn dog pees all over the carpet and eats kitty litter then pukes on our carpet. I asked kids in the neighborhood to write an essay why they wanted my dog and you know what I got? Nothing. That's what you're gonna get in response to this "Look at me...I am so charitable" attention grab. I shouldn't even bother to go on with another 96 words, but here goes: I hope your beds are full of bugs, I hope your chimney and that cozy fire you built combust, and I hope your gardener and chef slip on grease in the kitchen and sue your ass for over $1 million. It's people like you that give a bad name to those of us who labor and toil under the mid-day sun day after day, week after week, year after year. Why do we do it? So we can own a beat up, haunted, 1800's Colonial in the middle of lobster country. Good day (and by the way, I'm at 209 words, so !@#$ you!!)"
