Department of Revenue: "Hi. We’ve decided to reward your pathetically inactive little company with a Limited Scope Audit. All you have to do is prove to us that you either paid Sales Tax or Use Tax on all of your company’s assets."
Me: "Company?"
DoR: "Frog Taco Enterprises…?"
Me: "Oh, right. Just kidding. Um… Assets?"
DoR: "You mean your company doesn’t have any assets?"
Me: "Umm… Nope."
DoR: "Oh. Okay, then. Thanks for your time."

I think this Reader’s Digest Condensed Version is slightly more entertaining–the live action version was spread out over about a month, as with great dread I ignored the nastygram from the Department of Revenue until almost the due date, finally called the auditor at lunchtime to leave him a voicemail, and then received his response in my own voicemail. He mailed out the nevermind letter, and all was well, with nary a drop of blood spilled.
