Overheard in Dallas
If this were the case, a lot more people would play the lottery
January 11, 2007
A young couple were discussing the money they had just lost by playing the state lottery:
"Well, I guess that's $10 donated to the Texas Education Fund."
"Does that mean it's tax-deductible?"
Comments
haha. that's hilarious - both parts. No child left behind is about to be scrapped and the lottery is just another way to cheat poor people out of their money.

You would NOT believe how many people think that their un-won lottery tickets are tax deductible.

Take one step back.
Forget tax-deductions.
The Texas Education Agency
could just offer GAMBLING 101,
as an elective.
Heck.
I reckon' they
smite us well
make it part of
all that required
curlicue stuff.
Whudda' ya' think bout that there ideee?
