ah-ha! So *THAT's* How "THEY'RE" Going To DO It!

"THEY" being the U.S. GOVERNMENT. And, "IT" being Their current FINANCIAL *DEFICITS*.

THE *ANSWER*
-- The I.R.S.'s "CUT" of that 425-Million Dollar "POWERBALL" JACKPOT!!!

Seriously. 200+ MILLION has got to make *some* DENT!? -- I know that *I* could DO some WICKED $DAMAGE$ with all of them FIGURES-LEFT-OF-THE-DECIMAL-POINT... [INSERT Maniacal AUNTIE Grin]

ONCE "The CHEQUE" *CLEARS*, just give Me an Hour with a Secured SAT-PHONE and a Couple of Good TAX-LAWYERS and I'd soon be BLOOGING My Next POST from My BRIGHT-AND-SHINY-NEW-SECRET-OFFSHORE-COUNTRY!!

FAIRY-T? -- IFa TALL-HANDSOME-WELL-DRESSED-STRAPPING-YOUNG-LAD-ANSWERING-TO-THE-NAME-"PETER" shows up on Your Doorstep, GRAB Your WAND - [and His LORDSHIP too] - and GO-WITH-"HIM"...

GATE-GIRL? -- Don't Forget Your HOOKS and SHINY-RED-SHOES...

..ahh...WAIT...hang on...

[..whaddaya mean, you *forgot* to tell SIS to BUY a TICKET when They were across the Border??! great! just. great... - hope you enjoy shovelling *cookies*, KEEBLER-BOY!..]

oh-kay... Sorry about that... Looks like there's been a bit of a *SNAG* in the FINANCIAL-FANTASY-PLANS..? -- oh well... IT's probably all a MOOT Point anyway.

BTW, is that whole END-OF-THE-WORLD-THINGY still "ON" for NEXT MONTH, or was IT *REALLY* Cancelled..?!! -- 'Cause, I'll need to "BUDGET"... Just in case that PROPHESIZED-MASS-GLOBAL-EXTINCTION-DEAL **DOESN'T** HAPPEN..??!!
