"Wenn Sie Nicht Zahlen Ihre Steuern, Wir Schießen Ihren Hund"

(or, "if you don't pay yer taxes, we will shoot yer dog.")*

That is the message from the Swiss village of Reconvilier, which is using the threat of whacking dogs to get recalcitrant owners to pay their dog license taxes.

I didn't know that tax collectors were getting so desperate that they were taking tips from National Lampoon.

    Gosh I remember that NL cover from oh so long ago.

    Possibly one of the cleverest magazine covers ever.
