Yitz Kaplan, the owner of Yitz’s Deli was being questioned by an IRS agent about his tax return. He had reported a net profit of $80,000 for the year.
"Why don't you people leave me alone?" Yitz said. "I work like a dog, everyone in my family helps out, the place is only closed a few days a year. And you want to know how I made $80,000?"
"It's not your income that bothers us," the agent said. "It's these travel deductions. You listed six trips to Florida for you and your wife."
"Oh, that," Yitz said smiling. "It is a legitimate business expense because we also deliver."
