Beware the Ides of May

Beware the Ides of May

What?!! Still working on your taxes? Then my pal Mike Pascale and I can predict your future.

For the next few days, you’re going to be like a sailor carrying an anchor in the desert. You’ll spend every minute cursing—complaining that life makes no sense. You may even tear your hair out in frustration.
Don’t have enough hair left to tear out? Tear someone else’s hair out. (However—and this is extremely important—it’s always polite to ask for permission first.)

Sorry. No original art this time. Our crystal ball doesn’t know what happened.
