Mistaken ID-a

Pat told me a great story about a relative today...
Seems his cousin "Amelia" isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. First, Pat brought his kids to Amelia's for trick-or-treating last night. Pat waited in the car while his kids went inside to get their booty. His daughter came out with an odd look on her face. She had received a pair of black tights, which was fine, because she's a dancer, but that was accompanied by the universal treat... Ramen noodles?
Why the stinking heck would anyone give a kid Ramen noodles???
Anyhoo, Amelia had just gotten married 3 months ago, but already is separated. Why the sudden change? Turns out marriage wasn't all it was cracked up to be; namely, that she was (still) in debt. She told the family, "I'm getting married because all my debt listed under my maiden name will be forgiven."

Right. Because the IRS will no longer have the clue who you are.
