I don't know, I like to think of it as St. Procrastination Day.
Maybe in a few years, we will start to have Procrastination Day
festivals, highlighted by ritualistic dueling tax lawyers, the
mock IRS audit, and topped off by a tax record bonfire.

Savor the paranoia of it all.  Will they come and seize my house?
Will I be audited?  Will my return get lost in the mail?  Should
I have drawn the smiley face in the 'o' when I signed my name?

Regards,
Brett
