3 Things -- Tax Form edition

Post by Graybeard »

We haven't done a Three Things game for a long time, and with income-tax time upon us (at least for members in the US of A), I propose a new game, with the following rules:

As before, you're buying three things from your neighborhood super-store. This time, they are three things that you will then claim as business-related tax deductions -- in such a way that a potential auditor will look at your receipts, draw a conclusion about the "business" you bought them for, and run away screaming in terror, never to audit you again. As usual, only one purchase of any particular item; if someone else has bought a tube of K-Y jelly, you can't get one too, although other things that are (ahem) conceptually similar but under a different brand name are OK. Game ends April 15, of course; some little ... embellishments ... in the last week or so may occur.

To get the ball rolling:
Anatomy textbook, butcher knife, bottle of chloroform.

Alas, duct tape has already been used. Want to replace it?

Bright red overalls, the sturdiest boots you can find, and a package of mushrooms from the produce section.
How could a plan this awesome possibly fail?
