Don'T Mess With Old People!

[David48]

The tax office decides to investigate 87-year-old Grandpa and contacts him for an urgent meeting.

The tax inspector isn’t surprised when Grandpa shows up with his tax adviser.

The tax inspector says, “Well sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure that I find that believable.”

“I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”

The tax inspector thinks for a moment and says, “Okay. Go ahead.”

Grandpa says, “I'll bet you $1000 that I can bite my own eye.”

The tax inspector thinks a moment and says, “It's a bet.”

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The tax inspector's jaw drops.

Grandpa says, “Now, I'll bet you $2000 that I can bite my other eye.” Now the tax inspector can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned tax inspector now realises he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's tax adviser as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

“Want to go double or nothing?” Grandpa asks. “I'll bet you $6000 that I can stand on one side of your desk and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”

The tax inspector, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again after checking a couple of details about the bet.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his trousers, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the tax inspector's desk.

The tax inspector leaps with joy, realising that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.

But Grandpa's tax adviser moans and puts his head in his hands.

“Are you okay?” the tax inspector asks.

“Not really,” says the tax adviser. “This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an investigation, he bet me $25,000 that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!”

Moral of the story? ... Don't mess with old people!
