Dram: 1/16 of an ounce (avoirdupois) by weight, an ounce of liquid, particularly of liquor (basically, a shot-glass of booze).
1sickbastard, I could use a dram or two right about now.
nuisance tax - noun an excise tax collected in small amounts directly from the consumer
How much is that in carrots?And a 'minim' is one sixteenth of that, I believe.
Or sales tax, or 'sin' taxes, or, well, one could argue that all taxes are a nuisance.Very like our Value Added Tax (VAT).

Yes, indeed, taxes are a nuisance and I thought it was great that someone called them that. Here in California it is especially so, but our neighbor to the north, Oregon, has NO SALES TAX. Lots of my friends make the hour drive north to shop in Oregon, of course.
The California sales tax rate is 7.5%, and the maximum CA sales tax after local surtaxes is 9.75%.
Groceries and prescription drugs are exempt from the California sales tax
Counties and cities can charge an additional local sales tax of up to 2.25%
California has 2558 special sales tax jurisdictions with local sales taxes in addition to the state sales tax
California has a higher state sales tax than 100% of states
California has one of the highest sales tax rates in the country, and had the highest for years until a tax reduction in July 2011. Cities and municipalities can charge an additional local sales tax (known as a "District Tax") on top of the California state sales tax, which means California residents can pay as much as 10% combined state and local sales tax on their purchases. The California sales tax is as high as it is, relative to the other states, as compensation for reduced property taxes in California (which were introduced by Proposition 13 in 1978).
I will post a word in a while...
This makes me think that the EU VAT would be a godsend to all, accountants included, in California. Incidentally, the 'nipping over the Border' tax avoidance scheme is, or maybe was, used in Ireland.
I think that depends on the size or age of the horse!
