Boy: Yeah, we're picked last again. But one day... one sweet day... they'll come crawling to us on their hands and knees. Where tax auditors come from.
i was once singing the song “Smiles” (There are smiles that make you happy / There are smiles that make you blue) and my wife said, “What kind of smile would make you blue?” I replied, “When the tax auditor says, ‘There seems to be a little problem with a couple of your deductions.’”
I was always picked last for sports because of lack of athletic talent, esp. in grade school, when I was next-to-smallest in the class. The only exception occurred when my athletic best friend was doing the choosing – then I was first. Also, first for spelling bees. I could see the point of not picking me for a team, and grew up reasonably well adjusted.
Reminds me of something from “Frasier”..Scene; He and Niles at a toy store, shopping something for visiting son Frederick. A guy sneers about the ‘nerdy stuff’ they’re looking for.Frasier’s retort something to the effect of; “well, MY nerdy kid just may be operating on YOUR kid’s prostate someday !!”
Reminds me of the Designing Women episode where Julia Sugarbaker annihilates Ray Don(the lounge lizard) in a restaurant and he, of course, turns up later to audit her business. Priceless.

Love the buttcrack! If tax auditing doesn’t work out, there’s always plumbing.

Future Tax auditors showing pent up emotion? I didn’t think they had any personality. Wait I just got them confused with Accountants.

This might explain every other officious bureaucrat too. Nothing else seems to.

Just so they don’t play shirts vs skins…that could get really ugly. Wouldn’t it be nice if tax auditors let us play HORSE over any discrepancies?
