Scratch, DCP, and the IRS

[_Daniel Peterson]

I've . . . always believed . . . that FARMS paid $20K of your salary that year for y your work as board chair.

True. I would imagine that you're generally recognized here on this board, among the four or five who monitor your activities, as an exceptionally zealous preacher of your Scartchodox faith.

The Form 990 says otherwise.

Jason Bourne disagrees with you.

You said you were not paid the $20K for your services as board chair, while the Form 990 expressly states that you were.

I know that I wasn't, and Jason Bourne says that your reading of the form is incorrect.

That's not what the Form 990 says.

Jason Bourne says that what you say the Form 990 says isn't what the Form 990 says.

Since, in fact, I wasn't paid $20,000.00 per year for my services as board chair, it's far more likely that Jason Bourne is correct than that you are.

I realize, however, that, as a sufferer from acute Scartcholepsy, you'll never be able to let go of this defamatory accusation. So, from this point on, I'll simply respond with a straightforward and formulaic denial of it. To fail to respond at all would be to permit you to mislead the innocent. But I hope that a very calm, flat denial will minimize Scartcholeptic seizures on your part.

Jason did not address the issue of your being paid $20K for your services as board chair (but whether FARMS could have paid this money to BYU).

Sorry, bishop, but you're still screwed by the plain language in the Form 990.

Whatever.

Mini-Scartch, though obsessively persistent (in the manner common to chronic Scartcholeptics), is persistently wrong.

I was never paid $20,000.00 per year, nor anything even close to that figure, for my services as chairman of the FARMS board.

Speaking of scratch, where did scratch go?

It's garbage collection day in my neighborhood. I guess I'll have take a look to see whether he's out going through my trash cans with an electron microscope again.

Last time he was out there -- two or three weeks ago, I think -- he nearly got dumped into the back of the trash truck. It was pretty funny. (I tried not to laugh, though. He was a bit, well, scratched up.)

That's just so lame..very sad.

I know. During the summer months, my wife would take lemonade out to him. But he absolutely refused to be distracted from his labors.

Imagine, it's not Scratch who spends every waking second on the internet --- but he's got to be insane...

There are lots of insane people whose caregivers don't allow them on the internet at all.

Time spent on the internet doesn't seem to be a reliable indicator of mental illness.
