Brer President woke up one morning and he sez to himself, sezee, “Brer Congress is gettin’ tired of watchin’ the deficit rise, and of wrestlin’ with the Budget. I’m gonna distract him by proposin’ he fight with Old Tar Baby, Internal Revenue Code.”
Brer President, he set Old Tar Baby, Internal Revenue Code, down beside the road and goes back to his house. Soon Brer Congress calls and sez, “Brer Pres, what can I do for you today?”
Brer President sez, sezee, “I’m sure glad you called. I just saw Old Tar Baby Internal Revenue Code sittin’ beside the road just lookin’ for trouble. I suggest you go down there and whip him into shape. Rearrange his features, as they say. But don’t change his over-all size. When you get done, I want him to be revenue neutral.”
Since Brer Congress had nothing better to do, he headed down the road, as Brer President had suggested. He hadn’t far to go, for over the first rise in the road he spotted Old Tar Baby, Internal Revenue Code, sitting on a big rock at the side of the road. Old Tar Baby looked satisfied with himself. He was just sitting there with his hands on his stomach.
