The stockbroker received notice from the IRS that he was being audited. He showed up at the appointed time and place with all his financial records, then sat for what seemed like hours as the accountant pored over them.

Finally the IRS agent looked up and commented:

- You must have been a tremendous fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

- Why would you say that? - wondered the broker.

- Because you've made more brilliant deductions on your last three returns than Sherlock Holmes made in his entire career.

Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.

- How are three people going to travel on only one ticket? - asks an accountant.

- Watch and you'll see - answers an engineer.

They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.

Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says:

- ticket, please.

The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all!) When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all.

- How are you going to travel without a ticket? - says one perplexed accountant.

- Watch and you'll see - answers an engineer.

When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says:

- ticket, please.

An American manufacturer is showing his machine factory to a potential customer from Albania. At noon, when the lunch whistle blows, two thousand men and women immediately stop work and leave the building.

- Your workers, they're escaping! - cries the visitor.

- You've got to stop them.

- Don't worry, they'll be back - says the American. And indeed, at exactly one o'clock the whistle blows again, and all the workers return from their break.

When the tour is over, the manufacturer turns to his guest and says:

- Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?

- Forget the machines - says the visitor.

- How much do you want for that whistle?

An investment counselor decided to go out on her own. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realized that she needed an in-house counsel. The investment banker began to interview young lawyers.

"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned forward.

- Mr. Mayberry, are you an honest lawyer?

- Honest? - replied the job prospect.

- Let me tell you something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father lent me $15,000 for my education, and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case.

- Impressive. And what sort of case was that? - asked the investment counselor.

The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted:

- He sued me for the money.

You eliminate the middle man." - Jay Leno
