Good post. The bad news is that only about 2% of FTers have a sense of humor, so it is wasted on us.

One of my buddies tried to fund an account recently, and 3 days later, the ATF stormed his house, confiscated his stereo and plasma TV as evidence, and then auctioned off his 2004 Chevy in a police auction in order to pay the prosecutor against him.

Beware, this is not an easy deal.
