I'm on the dodge.

[Mule Packer]

Oh swell. It looks like I'm going to be on the dodge for the next while.

Got a phone call yesterday from the IRS. The lady said that there were grievous errors in my income tax and if I didn't respond in 24 hours, "the cops would come by to arrest me." Yep. The "cops." Exact words. (You'd think she'd be a little more formal.)

Well, it's been 24 hours and "the cops" haven't shown up yet, so I'm gettin' the heck out of town before they do. Going up into the mountains to cook for my 14-year old grandson's elk hunt. He drew a bull tag this year and, like I've done before for his previous deer hunts, I told him that I'd go along, set up the big wall tent and wood stove, and cook for him for that week.

Anyway, I've got the truck loaded with the Dutch ovens, skillets, bed roll, etc., and I'll be heading out first thing in the morning....unless the cops show up before then.

So, if you happen to see me along the highway picking up trash, honk and wave. The way the gal on the phone sounded, this is a pretty serious deal.

Run Mule Packer, run!

I have received that one numerous times . I have been audited more than a few times and I was told the IRS never calls . they send certified letters with return receipt so you can't say " Judge I never got no notice ."

 

[LVSteve]

The "IRS" are after you because they found out how much you inherited from your Nigerian prince uncle when he passed.

 

[Andy Lowry]

The solution is simple-- plastic surgery. Gender re-assignment would probably work, too.

It looks like it will be your last hunt for a good many years, have fun. [emoji1]

Pay up, Chip.

You should see the unplayable logs that pass for guitars in the big house.

 

[shell627]

Maybe you will run into Butch and Sundance while you are 'on the dodge'in the mountains.

My wife got a call last week and was told she had won ?million dollars and if she would send them $900 they would bring the check to the house. She said she told them she didn't need the money and hung up. I told her she really messed up. Our chance to be rich and she blew it and if she ever does anything like that again I'm going to trade her for a goat. Larry

 

[blasterp7]

Are you a Nigerian Prince - Oh wait was it a Nigerian Prince that called you?

 

[chiefbob81]

Send me all of your guns before they arrest you, I'll take good care of them!

 

[woodsltc]

Good luck dodging the Cops.....and good luck to your grandson, hope he fills his bull tag with a nice one.

Let us know how your grandson does.

[S&W ucla]

They called me and I told them you had the money.
Good luck on hunt, be sure and post some pics!

 

[Old cop]

I have lunch every Tuesday w/a bunch of my retired cop buddies and got one of these calls then. I told the idiot I was a retired cop out to lunch w/my retired cop buddies and gave him the address w/a "come get me" at the end. They hung up.

 

[soFlaNative]

Would you prefer all orange jump suit or back and white ?

 

[BAM-BAM]

Might be time to head for Hole-In-The-Wall.

Then grab the girlfriend (aka Katharine Ross) and head to ................. Bolivia...... three steps ahead of Sam Elliott

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Never mind the cops. I want to go elk hunting with you. Sounds like a better deal.

 

[TomkinsSP]

Oh, I am old school. Stripes.

So, here is a plan, if you have a wood deck take a shovel and hollow out a little hide where you can keep a sleeping bag and a canteen and a camp stove. Then you can live under your deck and the fuzz won't find you. You can come up at night to use the bathroom and resupply. Get a relative or friend to keep the fridge full and the bills paid. My years of police work including looking for persons with fugitive warrants tells me you will be safe from discovery "underground".

Other hiding places that have made the local news....... have included hiding inside a dryer or garbage can. always thought the garbage can was a bad idea with a generation of cops who grew up watching "Sesame Street"

 

[CH4]

It was nice knowing you. Not sure they still make it, but soap on the rope is always a good idea. Write often

My Grandson called me yesterday. I'm in jail in Brazil. I need money for bail.
When I asked him what is name was, he said, "You know my name Grandpa." Nobody calls me Grandpa.

I had heard about this scam so I played him a while and finally told him to let me know if he ever got out and hung up.
