Getting Dressed for the IRS
A man was called in for an audit by the IRS. So, he asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.
"Wear your worst clothing and an old pair of shoes. Let them think you are a pauper," the accountant replied.
Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice: "Don't let them intimidate you. Wear your best suit and an expensive tie."
Confused, the man went to his Minister, told him of the conflicting advice, and asked him what he should do.
"Let me tell you a story," replied the Minister. "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 and wool socks.' 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: "But Reverend, what does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?"
"It doesn't matter what you wear; you're going to get screwed."
