Somebody ought to really do it. I stole this OT and am sending it to my cousin who retired from the IRS. She'll get a kick out of it.

Dear IRS,

Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.

Please note the attached article from USA Today, wherein you will see the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat.

I am enclosing four toilet seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029), bringing my total remitted to $3429.00.

Believe it or not, there is a reason the contractors charge so much. SUPPOSEDLY any part purchased by the gov't must meet certain gsa/milspec requirements. So in order to meet MilSpec, EACH AND EVERY screw in the box must have passed the required test. NOT just one, or a random sampling. I am quite sure, however, that that is not the case. It would take years to produce and test each one of the millions of screws the military uses each year, let alone anything else they use.

Oh, maybe I am 1 sick guy, but I wonder just what kind of testing toilet seats have to pass?

Maybe tintyoda can enlighten us? Seems I saw a tester on one of her other posts.

I just had mine figured- I owe them bazturds about 10 toilet seats and a few hammers!

Yeah, I believe they throw down ridicluous amounts of cash for that stuff, but when it comes to Security Film jobs, GSA is the cheapest customer out there. Go figure...

we learned about this in my econ class, this is true. Every piece is tested 5 times over. NO mistakes are allowed at nasa.

So, is this the reason 2 TRILLION dollars is just "missing" from the pentagon?

[skittles15]

I'm sure part of it is. I'm not a political guy on forums because enemy's are one thing I don't like to make but I'm sure some of that mone has gone to nasa for its research

Good one, OT...

Sadly this reality and we are so powerless over influencing how our gov't conducts itself anymore.
