    “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”
