"Taxes here and there, taxes ev'ry-where,
taxes ev'ry place that they can be..."


I used to work in a retail store. Every once in a while I'd get a customer who'd complain about the sales tax. Instead of saying what I wanted to say, which was, "Why are you wasting my time whinging about the inevitable when I have other people to wait on?" I would simply smile and say,

"Oh well, it paid for the road that brought you here."

That always put a cork in them.

But I agree that a tax on beautiful girls would be going too far.
