Joseph was called to testify at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), so
he asked his accountant for advice on how to dress for the occasion.
"Wear your shabbiest clothing so that they think you are a pauper."
His accountant told him.
Joseph decided to ask his lawyer as well. "Wear your best clothing
so they know you aren't intimidated." The lawyer said.
Completely confused, Joseph went to his priest and told him about
the conflicting advice he had received, asking for his advice.
"Let me tell you a story." The priest said. "A woman, about to be
married, asked her mother what she should wear on her wedding
night and was told to wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that
covered her all the way up to her neck. She also asked her best
friend, who told her to wear a sexy negligee with a V neck down to
her navel."
Joseph was confused. "What does any of that have to do with my
problem with the IRS?"
"Simple." replied the priest. "It doesn't matter what you wear, you're
still going to get screwed." |
