Ralph arrived at his Internal Revenue Service audit accompanied
by another man. The IRS guy assumed the other man was Ralph's
attorney.
Going over his records, the IRS official said, "Well, sir, it
appears that you live at a much higher level than your reported
employment income. How do you explain that?" Ralph replied,
"I love to gamble and I usually win." The skeptical official
gave him a disbelieving look.
"I can prove it," said Ralph. "How about a demonstration?"
The official thought a moment and said, "Okay. Go ahead."
Ralph said, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite
my own eye." The auditor thought a moment and said, "No way!
It's a bet!" Ralph removed his glass eye and bit it.
The official's jaw dropped. Ralph said, "Now, I'll bet you two
thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye." The official
could tell Ralph wasn't blind, so he took the bet. Ralph then
removed his dentures and bit his good eye. The stunned official
was now three grand in the hole!
"Want to go double or nothing?" Ralph asked. "I'll bet you six
thousand dollars that I can stand on your desk and pee into that
wastebasket by the door over there and never get a drop anywhere
in between." The auditor, twice burned, was cautious now, but
there's no way this guy could manage that stunt, so he agreed
again!
Ralph climbed up on the auditor's desk, missed the wastebasket
completely, and pretty much peed all over the desk. The official
grinned. He had just turned a huge loss into a huge win!
But then he noticed that Ralph's friend looked ashen and was
visibly shaking. "Are you okay?" he asked.
The man replied, "Not really. Before we arrived, Ralph bet me
twenty thousand dollars he'd pee on your desk and you'd be happy
about it!"
