Replacing an older cliche with a newer one;
"to everything there is a season" becomes "to
everything there is a form." For life consists
not in the abundance of possessions, but in
the multitude of boxes checked, addresses written
in rectangles, and signatures of printed names which have
been scratched out in the midst of the cutting, running,
driving, dodging and digging that composites
each day of our existence.
May the 1,000 plus forms found at irs.gov offer
more $$$ relief than %%% pain. And may there
always be a black ink pen available for job apps,
marriage license, resume', building permit, insurance
application, travel insurance, or camp application,
when need arises.
May required information, be it loan applications,
shot records, health exams, be always and
easily accessible.
And may the space between birth certificate and
death certificate be filled with delightful wonder over
the average 23 months that we all spend on the completion
of the ever mounting paperwork of the modern milieu.
------------------------
What is the most unusual form you ever had to fill out?
Or is there an interesting experience you had related to a form?
A friend of mine said he got a good laugh at a job interview because he wrote on the form in the box labeled "Any reason you cannot fulfill the requirements of this job?" "I can't fly!"
