Thread: The IRS came by

If you've ever owned your own business, been an entrepreneur or wondered what it's like doing so, this is about as close to reality as it gets.

The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him.



IRS AUDITOR: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them".



Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my deckhand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bacardi rum and a dozen Budweisers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally".


IRS AUDITOR: "That's the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one".


Boat Owner: "That would be me. What would you like to know"?

Funny Aint it so.
