HAH! a long time ago when I had my music business in Kelowna and
Kamloops BC, I would get very lengthy forms to fill in regarding our
tax position, number of employees, etc. 2 different and separate
branches of the Federal Govt were the senders. One time, when we had
been exceptionally busy and I did not have time to fool around with this
crap, I filled both forms with nonsensical gibberish, sent the one form
in the other forms envelope, and vice versa! For some strange reason, it
worked....I never again received those types of forms from either
department! Sometimes it pays to defy the bureaucracy!Cheers, the old
guy in BC who has a couple of red peppers sitting on one plant
