Mr.Patel who had been called to testify at the Income Tax Department asked his accountant, Mr Shah, for advice on what to wear on the occasion.


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


Then he asked his lawyer,Mr Butch, the same question, but got the opposite advice."Don’t let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie."


Confused, Mr. Patel, went to his priest, pandit Joshi; told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution on the dilemma.


"Let me tell you a story," replied pandit Joshi. "A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night.‘Wear a heavy, Panjabi suit with a nice long dupatta,’ But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. ‘Wear your most revealing negligee, a nice V-neck.’


Confused, Mr Patel asked, "What does all this have to do with my problem with the Income Tax Department?"


"Simple," replied Joshi maharaj "It doesn’t matter what you wear, you’re still going to get screwed."
