Here are a few more bad tax jokes for this week. The first comes from a reader who remembers hearing it from former Spidell speaker Steve Honeyman at a seminar years ago.
Two IRS agents are looking up at a flagpole, trying to figure how tall it is. Just then, two accountants are walking by and see the agents wondering how to measure the flagpole. The accountants walk up to the flagpole, take it out of the ground, and lay it on the ground. They measure the pole. They walk over to the IRS agents and say, "It’s 46 and 1/2 feet." Then the accountants walk away.
At this point one IRS agent says to the other, “Isn’t that just like an accountant? They told us how long it was and not how tall it was."
Did you hear about the CPA from Dallas who took on 100 new clients this year? He’s deep in the heart of taxes.
Did you notice that when you put the words “the” and “IRS” together, it spells “theirs”?
