Paying Taxes, American Style
With 15 minutes on the clock until the courthouse closes for the weekend, Leticia is all alone at the front desk and deep into her brodice-ripper paperback when an old man walks in to pay the taxes that he owe—in pennies, no less—and then some. A battle of wits unfolds between a love-starved government worker and a determined taxpayer.
