Following up on this morning’s long post on the kick-off of the 2006 tax filing season:  The Onion pokes fun at tax procrastinators today in its satirical report, ExxonMobil Swears It’s Going To Start Taxes Early This Year:

Hoping to avoid the "scraping and scrambling" it does every year, the ExxonMobil Corporation announced Tuesday that it has made a solemn promise to get moving on taxes early this year. "I swear, this time we are not going to be up all night on April 15," ExxonMobil chairman and CEO Lee R. Raymond said. "We’re going to start sorting through those receipts from the Qatar and Malaysia production facilities the first weekend we have time. Wouldn’t it be nice to get it done ahead of time for a change?" Raymond said he hasn’t forgotten driving around at 10 p.m. looking for a gas station with a copy machine last year.
