The following is a true story. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent, however literary license has been taken to…y’know…make the action a tad more interesting.
Travel back with me to yesterday where I’m standing in Barry’s office, studying the confusion on his face.
Barry: The State Board says we underpaid the sales tax last quarter.
Randy: Hm. Imagine that.
Barry: I can’t figure out what I did.
Making my way over to his side, I peer over his shoulder at the return while he points at two figures.
Barry: See, those are the first and second pre-payments right there but the amounts don’t seem right.
Randy: Let’s look at the check register.
He digs out the notebook where he keeps a record of manually-written checks. The information is in the following format: Date, Check Number, Payee, Amount.
Randy (after some thought): Very clever. Instead of paying the AMOUNTS, you paid the CHECK NUMBERS. Nice rounding, though.
