The IRS and the boat owner
May 21, 2020 13:08:56 #
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"?

See. The problem with the story is it lacks credibility. It would be someone from Dept. of Labor, not the IRS. Otherwise, it sounds about right.

Good joke to bring a smile on a gloomy day under the lock down. And it doesn’t have to be perfect .
