The IRS supervisor could not decide which of the four applicants to hire. So he called the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the interviewer asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?"

Acknowledging the first man on his right, the man replied, "A THOUGHT." It just pops into your head. There's no warning that it's on the way; it's just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of."

The interviewer replied, "That's very good!"

He asked the second man, "And now you?"

"Hmm... let me see. A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of."

The interviewer said, "Excellent! The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliche for speed."

He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply. "Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light in the barn comes on in less than an instant. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of."

The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man, "It's hard to beat the speed of light."

Turning to Bubba, the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. Old Bubba replied, "After hearing the three previous answers, It's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA."

"Explain, please," the interviewer said.

Old Bubba said, "Oh I can explain. You see the other day I wasn't feeling so good and I ran for the bathroom. But before I could THINK, BLINK OR TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit my pants."

So now you know why IRS employees are so quick to treat people like shit.
