WASHINGTON - Recently confirmed U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Friday he will repay back taxes he has owed to the U.S. government in the form of Chuck E Cheese tokens and tickets.
Geithner said his amassed token collection - sufficient to purchase 3,000 glow-in-the-dark slap bracelets and 500 rubber balls - should cover his $43,000 in taxes owed to the U.S. government. He will also deliver 17 extra-large Hawaiian and pepperoni pizzas and three pitchers of Coke Zero to the U.S Treasury as additional collateral for his debt.
"I sincerely apologize for this oversight, but I will have you know that my kids are laboring day and night to get enough tickets to pay off this debt," Geithner said at his Senate confirmation hearing last week.
Geithner said he won the plethora of tokens and tickets after an "exceptional day" of SkeeBall and Wack-a-mole. Spokesmen for the Obama Administration declined to comment on the situation.
Meanwhile, thousands of tax-law-abiding American workers lost their jobs.
