DOG FOOD

The Chartered Accountant of a restaurateur from South Mumbai was intrigued by a generous amount mentioned under the curious head "Dog Food". When the accountant asked what he meant by this and that such heads were not admissible,the restaurateur,an elderly gentleman,said he would rather explain to the income tax officer himself, if he were perhaps to question it. Sure enough,the I.T official did not pass the audited accounts and summoned the man. The restaurateue, never known to mince the words, told the official," It is for the two legged dogs from your department who come begging and whom I need to pay off every once in a while." His chartered accountant cringed,but the officer,who was clearly taken aback,approved the accounts!
