How appropriate...

I'm on hold with the IRS.

They have a question about the legitimacy of claiming tequila as a business expense, (seemed reasonable to me...

)

So, after pressing 1 for English (there's no Portuguese option) and entering my Tax Payer ID #, they cranked up the "on hold" music.

What's playing? A little mid-seventies Elton John perhaps?

No. It's the Nutcracker Suite.

Cute. Assholes.

bwahahahaha...just hold your breath when they start with the water...

Tequila IS a business expense, so long as you were engaged in business at the time of consumption!

What did the IRS say?

I was at BWW's with an attorney friend of mine for a Monday Night Football game. We asked him about a case he was working on. He picked up the entire tab for the evening because we were "talking business". So I can see how Tequila can be a legitimate expense as long and you were talking work at the time.

My parents once put an entire vacation as a business expense since it was with another couple they worked with. Got away with it free and clear.
