Joke No. 159

Income Tax Inspector

A man had fallen between the rails in a subway station.
People were all crowding around trying to get him outbefore the train ran him over. They were all shouting.

"Give me your hand!" but the man would not reach up.

Ralph elbowed his way through the crowd and leaned
over the man. "Friend," he asked, "what is your
profession?"

"I am an income tax inspector," gasped the man.

"In that case," said Ralph, "take my hand!"

The man immediately grasped Ralph's hand and was
hauled to safety and a lengthy accident related delay
was safely avoided.

Ralph turned to the amazed by-standers. "Never ask
a tax man to *give* you anything, you fools."
