Dear Government,

It has recently come to my attention that a small amount of my tax money has gone towards detaining and deporting seventies folk icon Cat Stevens from the country.

I was told at work today I look like a 6'3" Notre Dame mascot.

I feel bad laughing out loud on the phone when he gave me his last name but I couldn't help it....

I'm scum
