Ming Suffers Taxing Experience

Neighbors all called police, swearing that someone was being murdered. Cries of anguish, shrieks of rage, pleas for mercy all emanated from Ming's tastefully appointed cardboard box under Andy's bridge. Just now filing his tax return after getting an extension, and seeing just how badly he did last year is adding insult to injury. Ming was forced to seek solace in the Bible. The Book of Genesis states, "The whole lifetime of Adam was nine hundred and thirty years. The whole lifetime of Seth was nine hundred and twelve years". At a crappy $3,000 a year for the maximum deduction of capital losses against ordinary income, Ming better start taking better care of himself. No more gorging on chocolate covered herring. No more second helpings of candied sauerkraut. Ming must attain the biblical lifespan to make use of his loses if Dendreon doesn't cough up some capital appreciation pretty soon.
