The audit isn’t over yet, so “could” is the operative word. And it won’t happen soon. If the IRS finally finishes and asks for their money, can they appeal to the regular courts? ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > so why not naps and maybe some Gerbers too? Years ago, one dude in my circle of friends decided to try something he called “the baby food diet”. He only ate Gerber baby food. A couple of days into that, he cleared out the ship’s head. Imagine, if you will, the stench from the first baby diaper you had to change. Now consider how odiferous it would have been had it been from an adult (basically a Baby Huey dump). Yeah, we talked him out of that inanity. But, hey, it sure could explain Tan the Conman’s, let’s call it, personal aurora wafting around him. ---
