As Everyone Who's Anyone Knows...

...Mary and I are leaving for Spain on Friday.

The following numbers related to the trip bear mentioning:

1) 1,205.68

2) 780.54

Add the above two numbers together... add a dollar sign... and you get $1,986.22 - the total package price for our round trip airfares, seven nights hotel, and two pre-paid 3-course lunches at our hotel.

Actually, it's a great price. We have direct flights. We're staying at a five star hotel. Life is good!

Yet...

(*SIGH*)

Let's revisit the initial two numbers I cite - 1,205.68 and 780.54

Add that dollar sign... we now have $1,205.68 and $780.54

Can you guess what that $760.54 represents...?

Com'on... you can do it...

(*SNORT*)

Yep...! TAXES...!!!

Unfrigg'n believeable, huh...?!?!
