It's a beautiful sunny day, and I'm working on my t*xes...

I just noticed that the New Improved Canada Revenue Agency has a
New Improved Slogan: "More Ways to Serve You!"  And, wading through
the forms, I can't help but think that it's appropriate.

Perhaps somebody pointed out that the originally planned, "Hi, we're from
the government and we're here to help you!" might not be efficacious.
