A man who was summoned to an IRS audit asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.
"Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let them think you're a pauper."
Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite "Don't 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 a 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. Her mother advised, 'Wear a long, heavy flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.'
But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice.The friend said, 'Wear your sexiest negligee, with a V-neck right down to your navel.'"
Confused, the man protested, "But what does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?"
The rabbi replied, "Your situation is the same. It doesn't matter what you wear. You're going to get screwed."
