Tax Problem

An IRS agent is questioning a New York sandwich deli owner about his tax return. The owner has reported a net profit of $80,000 for the year.
“Why don’t you people leave me alone?” says the deli owner. “I work like a dog. Everyone in my family helps out. This place is only closed for three days a year. And you want to know how I made $80,000?”
“It’s not your income that bothers us,” says the agent. “It’s these travel deductions. You’ve listed six trips to Florida for you and your wife.”
“Oh, that,” says the owner smiling. “It’s a legitimate business expense, we also deliver.”
