A tax preparer was helping some customers.

The first guy comes in and the tax man asks him, How much money did you make last year?

The guy answers, Oh, about $100,000

So the tax man finishes up with him and the next guy comes in.

How much money did you make last year?

I made $150,000 dollars

Oh really? What do you do?

And so the taxman finishes with him.

The third guy comes in and the taxman asks him,How much money did you make last year?

The guy answers, Well, last year was a pretty good year, I made about $9,000

The tax man asks him, Oh, really? What instrument do you play?
