The ordination I received was from the Protestants, not the Catholics, so I'm not a Father. I'm a good one, if I were a Catholic, though. I did pretend to be a priest because Kurosawa is a wise wise man.

In any case, Ms Osborn [the supervisor at the IRS] merely explained the empirical effects of their computer system and their process of data entry for tax forms. I deduced the rest, so there was no confession in any sense of the word. Up to y'all to prove my logic correct -- though it's so obvious I could build the Pyramids with it.
