A man, called in for an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, (American
taxation department) asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.
"Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper."
Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice.
"Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie."
Confused, the man went to his rabbi, told him of the conflicting advice,
and requested some resolution of the dilemma. "Let me tell you a story,"
replied the rabbi. "A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what
to wear on her wedding night. 'Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that
goes right up to your neck.' But when she asked her best friend, she got
conflicting advice. 'Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right
down to your navel.
The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my problem
with the IRS?"
"No matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed."
