[ WP ] In this world nothing is said to be certain except death and taxes ... except now one of these is no longer certain .

`` You have a choice,'' Death said. 
 
 
 
 I stared at Death, `` A choice?'' 
 
 
 
 `` Yes, see, I have been wanting to get rid of this saying for a long time now. You know. The saying that nothing is certain except for death and taxes.'' 
 
 
 I frown. `` You want a vacation?'' 
 
 
 Death rolled his eyes at me, or hers, I should n't assume anyone's gender. `` No, I merely want them to stop saying that stupid quote.'' 
 
 I frowned, `` And how exactly do I come into play?'' 
 
 `` You get to pick... Which one do you want to get rid of?'' 
 
 I sighed, I did n't know what to decide. I thought about it, and then realized what I thought was best. 
 
 `` Time is up,'' Death told me. 
 
 `` Very well,'' I said, `` No more taxes.''
