We now return to the joys of 2010 and the fact that Congress has not yet passed a bill changing the unified credit from unlimited in 2010. We hear that Congress intends to deal with this by the end of the year but if they don’t watch for the following really tacky idea.
THE DEATH CERTIFICATE PRINTING OFFICE.
The Government of the tiny African Principality called HERGOTIA was having trouble balancing the budget. Their King, also known as King Nogomo had a friend living in the United States, by the name of Ngu Burnufu. Ngu was trying to become a chartered life underwriter so he could sell Life Insurance on the internet. Ngu’s plan was to sell the insurance written by HERGOTIAN insurance companies in the United States. While attending a seminar Ngu learned that there is no death tax for the year 2010 if you die in 2010
Ngu called King Nogomo on his cell phone and said told him about the glitch in the law. “I wonder if these rich Americans would travel to HERGOTIA and for a fee get a death certificate”, he asked the King. The King frowned, but then said, “it might be good for tourism, but we need to upgrade our hotels.” A large investment was made in redecorating hotels throughout HERGOTIA.. As a result, he came up with a plan, sell travel packages to HERGOTIA so that people can “die” there.
Sam Burnedcoat had built an internet empire. His multiple blogs were worth an estimated One Hundred Million Dollars. He had chosen sports topics to blog about and most importantly became a fantasy sports guru of sorts. People checked out his blogs every day to see who was hurt, who was hot and who as slumping, so that they could manipulate their fantasy teams. Every hit was like a dollar sign to him. Sam was 35 years old and unmarried. He knew that he could and would start other blogs in the future, but he heard that if he died he could leave his empire to his needful parents who were entering old age. But he didn’t really want to die. So, he searched the internet and found out about HERGOTIA. But that wouldn’t end the inquiry he had to prepare the landing for his death first. He needed a new identity. The folks in HERGOTIA could help with that, too. They would give him a birth certificate with a new name, but he would of course be a citizen of HERGOTIA. For Sam, this was not a problem, since he worked on the internet and HERGOTIA had great internet facilities in their hotels.
