Rationalizing (Justifying)
Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2022 (message contributor)
Morris Siegel, the owner of a small Kosher New York deli, was being questioned by an IRS agent about his tax return.
He had reported a net profit of $60,000 for the year.
Why dont you people leave me alone? the deli owner said.
I work like a dog, everyone in my family helps out, the place is only closed three days a year. And you want to know how I made $60,000?
Its not your income that bothers us, the agent said. Its these business travel deductions of $125,000. You listed ten trips to Israel for you and your wife.
Oh, that? the owner said smiling. Well....we also deliver. [haruth.com].
