Mitch4 sends this in as an “attempted OY – I’m not sure “look after” supports both meanings well. Perhaps “take care of” would be more what the capo would say.”.

The Hilburn (at the top) is something of a CIDU for me. Is the pun on “back”, because they’re a chiropractic office and backs (of a body) are special for them? Or is it about “behind”? Or even “No, we’re not behind in paying, as we are not paying at all”?
It’s similar to a cardiologist saying they are paying hearty taxes.
Yeah, it’s a pun on spine and behind.
I don’t think there is any pun on behind, that’s used normally. By “back taxes” he means taxes on the work done on backs. They owe, but aren’t late on those.
Yeah, well, taxes are not funny to me right now. I recently finished taking, for the last time, courses so that I can prepare income taxes this year – which will be my last time doing so and I have worked related to income taxes since I helped my dad with the new fangled copying machine make copies of the returns he had prepared for clients when I was a child (I hung up the wet copies to dry as that was how the copies came out of the machine).
I had resolved to continue preparing tax returns until my last client (of my dad’s and/or my former boss’s) was gone (either to a different preparer or passed on) as I did not want to send people in their 70s, 80s, and one in their 90s to have to find someone new after these decades with “us”.
I am down to 4 personal and one business return. I spend more on taking the classes I need to be able to charge for tax prep and for supplies such as paper, as it too small a practice to afford to file online with what I make – even as IRS and states push for all filing to be online, but out of loyalty I did not want to leave them hanging.
But new requirements from IRS and states (I only have 5 returns – 3 states) are impossible for me to meet in terms of filing of the returns, so I will have to retire and leave the clients looking for someone else just as I did not want to have happen.
