There. That only took about fifteen minutes.
I'm one of those guys that still lives by those pink slip telephone messages, in addition to being computer illiterate. |

In economics, a duty is a kind of tax, often associated with customs, a payment due to the revenue of a state, levied by force of law. Properly, a duty differs from a tax in being levied on specific commodities, financial transactions, estates, etc., and not on individuals; thus it is right to talk of import duties, excise duties, death or succession duties, etc., but not of income tax as being levied on a person in proportion to his income.
It's all in my book "Astonishing Tales Of The Airport".

I wondered whether to explain in the joke that I knew Kramer said Doody and not Duty and that I was making a play on words, but then I didn't want to step on my own joke and everybody would give me the benefit of the doubt because after all, I'm Bookman. |
