Oh my God...Ooops isn't that me in this script, Yeah it is! So, Jimmy P you paid the materail tax with currency, that is material and has a tax upon it, also you haven't paid the taxes on the use of MY Materials, used to generate these so called (and soon to be retitled) "Plasmas" (...probably to something more "material" sounding, so's I can re-tax the tax on it...) so the taxation tableau indicates a category 17 slash J title 57 Part 2 sect 12 subsections (i) II(i) and (i)I(I)i(i) persuant to all titularites, exhumed in my name, as being soley and totally! in the complete and absolute conTrol of only no one else but ME![/size]

Cool my matter...**usurps Hurkyl's laser, fires at the remnants of jimmies tank**... (Insert sound of melting/flowing metal) Jimmy...Get out! or, well, I will not be held responcible if you, inadvertantly(?), commit suicide by your stubborn un-willingness to cede to me...P.S. Jimmy P your "Breathing Tax" payment isn't here yet, neither is your "Fecal Deposition Tax", (a tax on all of you, for 'poohing') so you need to stop doing both of those functions...Originally posted by Hurkyl

just cos u own the matter and we are taxed for it doesn't mean we can't steal it? what u think we are honest citizens? Hell no! I refuse to pay all these taxes...next you will have MONEY tax cos you own all the money...how can we pay you for something you already own with what you already own? ARGH *lurks back in his plasma field*...you haven't heard the last of me Robin.

You mean you have been making sound, using my matter again, why you little thief, Ooops BIG thief, Ooooooops big TAX thief, wait, hey! E = mc2 PROVES that all matter is actually energy, hence I must own all energy as well as it is inherant in (sorry left blank, just like what you need to know is being kept blank...for now) so it is perfectly clear that I own everything![/size]

while all matter is energy, you are only master of it when it is matter, and not energy so . Anyway, i will stake a claim on any type of Wave as they have no mass. and i will charge you for everytime one of my waves provides energy to your matter...i think u better turn the sun off Robin

Jimmy P when are you ever going to learn, now you own me for the thinking tax, and the thought formation tax, and theorizing tax which is retro-actively taxable, and has a surtax, upon the tax, that is taxable, as seviceing of the tax scheme, pusuant to the section 48 stroke G parts (all) and (allagain) furthered by the laws of "Everything and Everyone! (The EE laws...ya, I wrote 'em!)
WOW are you ever in deep and getting DEEPER...

Since you are in NO position to bargain, I'll still be benevolent, offer you a better deal, 100 % for me, and I'll think about letting you live...at least for a little bit more as yo seem to be a rather persistent person, I like that trait, in the right circumstances...
