A man, called to testify at the IRS, 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."
