Scott, that was brilliant! I am a tax lawyer and I had to look up Vigorish, which just made it even funnier.

The dictionary I use has the definition as "a percentage (of winnings or loot or profit) taken by an operator or gangster". It sure feels like that under audit.

I think you went over too many people's head with that punchline, Scott. Were you deliberately writing this joke for accountants and tax preparers? Reminds me of the tax accountant character from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s Sirens of Titan.

@leevclarke So, then, Mr. Adams is simply echoing the leftist belief that every bit of production already belongs to the State, and the State simply lets certain !$%*!$%* keep a portion of their own production. I agree with @VirginiaCentral: that isn't funny. Another one where I wish there was a "0" rating.
