      “Hey this is the IRS, we want to ask you some questions about your jet usage”

      “Oh hello, this is Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe, the legal and financial firm representing [insert business wealthy enough to own a private jet here]. What questions do you have?”

      Sigh “Nevermind, time to go back to scraping money from average citizens”

        Just showing appreciation for “Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe.”
