The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.
The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no
Full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.


I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a
demonstration? The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'

Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my
other eye.'

Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with
Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you three thousand
dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that
wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and
decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he
agrees again. Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but
although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket
on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss
into a huge win. But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his
hands. Are you okay?' the auditor asks? Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it..............

I've seen that joke before but I still like it. I doubt anyone would ever find an IRS auditor with that much life in them.

The IRS has become a pitiful joke. Congress has been so annoyed with them over the years they squeeze their budget tightly. Since no one ever gets fired the people just sit tight, get step raises and promotions and ride their time out. This has the effect of lowering total head count since every IRS person continues to get regular salary bumps and promotions. They currently audit very few individuals since the focus is on harassing political enemies( anyone who calls for smaller government is an enemy).

I'll give two direct examples of IRS misbehavior. First, I worked for a fairly small insurance company in the early 1990s. The IRS announced a full-scale audit and an agent moved on our premises full-time. However, he often didn't show and didn't do anything when he did. After three years, the man retired. Before he left, he presented the company with an enormous tax bill....several hundred million dollars. His asserted deficiencies were so bogus the company overturned every one.

A personal example...I owned a US Treasury bond that matured. A lunatic IRS agent in their San Diego CA office asserted that we owed taxes on the full face amount of the bond. My wife handled the situation and finally prevailed. We kept providing proof the agent was wrong and the agent kept insisting she never got our letters. I finally realized the agent was running a game on us and hoped we'd give in and pay the money she claimed.

Stories like this explain why the IRS is so despised and why I would gleefully do a Grandpa if I could get away with it.
