[/goes to look, and sure enough, the file was in the bathroom]
Me: ....

A Man Walks into our office
Him: I need to file some taxes!
Me: Great! Do you itemize?
Him: What's that mean?
Me: Uh... Do you have things like medical expenses, unreimbursed expenses from businesses or charitable contributions?
Him: I got a gigantic pussy warty thing removed on my ass, would that count?
Me: Was it medically needed? [Completely ignoring the fact that he just talked about the wart on his butt].
Him: It hurt when I sat down at work, and my doctor recommended that I remove it if I wanted to keep working.
Me: Oh, then that would count!
Him: Great!
-5 minutes later after the client leaves-
Employee2: DID YOU JUST TALK ABOUT A GUYS WARTY ASS FOR TAX PURPOSES?
Me: And people say accountants live boring lives!

Boss: Zack, I need some tax research done on cow poop.
Me: ........
Boss: A farmer needs to know if he can deduct the costs of a clearing, and I have never worked with that before.
Me: Doesn't it have to be ordinary, reasonable and necessary?
Boss: What's ordinary about that?
Me: True... /goes to tax research software
