If you've ever owned your own business, been an entrepreneur or wondered what it's like doing so, this is as close to reality as it gets. 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?"

Re: IRS Audit
Can I identify with that! The advantage of owning your own business is that you get to meet new people, such as friendly IRS agents. Been there, done etc.
