Taxation
  When old Barney died, he was initially refused admission to heaven because he had cheated on his income tax to the tune of 50,000 dollars. He was told that the only way he could get into heaven was to do penance for his tax evasion by sleeping with a really ugly woman. He didn't look forward to the prospect but realized there was no alternative.
A week later, his friend Joe also died and he too was initially refused admission to heaven because he had cheated on his income tax to the tune of 100,000 dollars. He was told that the only way he could get into heaven was to do penance for his tax evasion by sleeping with an even uglier woman, a hideous creature rarely allowed out in daylight. Reluctantly he too agreed.
A few weeks later, Barney and Joe were commiserating with each other about their fate and how they wished they had paid their taxes when they spotted their friend Wilbur walking on ahead. On his arm was the most gorgeous-looking blonde. The pair were insanely jealous and tackled Wilbur later that evening.
"How come you've got such a beautiful woman?" they demanded."I dunno," said Wilbur, "and I'm certainly not complaining. The thing I don't understand is that every time we have sex, she rolls over and mutters to herself, 'Damn income taxes!"'

  A small boy was playing in the street in Los Angeles when he accidentally swallowed a coin which then became stuck in his throat. With the boy choking, his mother ran along the street screaming for help. Luckily, a passer-by intervened and hit the boy hard on the back so that he coughed up the coin.
"Thank you so much, doctor," said the mother.
"I'm not a doctor," said the passer-by. "I work for the Internal Revenue Service."
