So it's time to pay the ad valorem taxes on my cars, but I received a
notice to call the local tax commissioner to compute the tax on my TR6.
I try to call them.six times before I have the privilege of being put on
hold for 35 minutes.  Finally, a voice appears on the other end and asks
me "what did you pay for your car?"  Without thinking too much and being
basically honest, I replied "5,000 dollars" (which isn't exactly right
either) and was promptly told my bill was $107.04.  I'm still trying to
figure out the answers to two questions: one, what do they do will all
the tax money and two, why I didn't reply "oh, maybe a thousand."
 
My tax dollars at work.
