The Income Tax decides to audit Rakesh, and summons him to the INCOME TAX office.


The Income Tax Officer was not surprised when Rakesh showed up with his attorney.


The Officer said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the Income Tax finds that believable.'


I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Rakesh. 'How about a demonstration?'


The Officer thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'


Rakesh says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'


The Officer thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'


Rakesh removes his glass eye and bites it. The Officer's jaw drops.


Rakesh says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'


Now the Officer can tell Rakesh isn't blind, so he takes the bet.


Rakesh removes his dentures and bites his good eye.


The stunned Officer now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Rakesh's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous, 'Want to go double or nothing?' Rakesh asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that dustbin on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'


The Officer, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.


Rakesh stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the dustbin on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the Officer's desk.


The Officer leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.

But Rakesh's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

'Are you okay?' the Officer asks.

'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Rakeshji told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'
