"If the IRS offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached." and you usually end up in the hole ================================== You are right in more than one sense of the word. Somehow, it also reminds me of the following joke which I have posted on this thread about a year ago:- A man was called in for an audit by the IRS. So he asked his accountant for advice on what to wear. "Wear your worst clothing and an old pair of shoes. Let them think you are a pauper," the accountant replied. Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice: "Don't let them intimidate you. Wear your best suit and an expensive tie." Confused, the man went to his minister, told him of the conflicting advice, and asked him what he should do. "Let me tell you a story," replied the minister. "A woman about to be married asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. Her mother told her to wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck and wool socks. But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. Her friend told her to wear her most sexy negligee with a V-neck right down to her navel. The man protested, "But reverend, what does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?" "It doesn't matter what you wear; you're still going to get screwed."
