Not me! I'd start a rebellion and take over the
government and repeal the tax. I would tax coffee,
mushrooms, broccoli, etc. ;-)

Kate,

When in power, don't tax the artichokes! Please NOT THE ARTICHOKES!!!

They're seasonal!

Are not!

Are you gonna pay the tax?

No I'm gonna revolt!

You ARE revolting.

Am not!

Are so!

Dear Andy,
In spite of your apparent psychotic break, I will not
tax artichokes. There was a time when I would have but
I now will eat them in the form of artichoke dip. (But that's
as far as I'll go, artichoke-wise!)

Now, please pull yourself together (gather up all your
multiple personalities) and get a grip.

Love,
Kate

OMG! How could I have forgotten beets! Gah!
I think they come right after mushrooms and before
broccoli.
