I have contributed to seventeen cakes
Fictional editorial letter
Dear Duck,
Our office collects money for every birthday. I have contributed to seventeen cakes this year, including for people I have never met. May I stop?
— Department of Frosting
Dear Voluntary Cake Taxpayer,
Yes. Thank the organizer and say you will not be contributing to every collection. You may still sign a card or celebrate a colleague you actually know. There is no need to present your bank statements beside the buttercream.
A voluntary collection remains voluntary even when conducted by a person with a clipboard. I have requested an audit of the frosting budget. The committee has eaten the evidence.
