REW, you didn't try any of these during your volunteer tax-prep time, did you?

A taxpayer wanted to write off a $100,000 swimming pool for medical reasons. Swimming, he explained quite seriously, relaxed him -- so he could earn more money, which in turn would be taxable.

Yea, what a great deduction.
I will now (of course, in my 2007 tax forms) deduct my sleeping activity as a cost of investing since I need sleep in order to understand Fama/French/Bogle/Ferri/Stein/Swedroe/Bernstein/Laramore, el al.

Sure did. That's the reason I don't have to worry about being invited back again next year.

Pretty dang sure none of them were around to see the jarvic-7!
Oldsmobile folded because they took too long to come out with the delta-89.
