A man who was called to testify at the IRS, asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.

“Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper,” the accountant replied.

Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. “Do not 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 some
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. ‘Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to
your neck.’ But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. Wear your most sexy
negligee, with a v-neck right down to your navel.”

The man protested: “What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?”

The Rabbi replied, “No matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed.”
