A man had fallen between the rails in a subway station. People were all crowding around trying to get him out before the train ran him over. They were all shouting.
"Give me your hand!" but the man would not reach up.
Ralph elbowed his way through the crowd and leaned over the man. "Friend," he asked, "what is your profession?"
"I am an auditor for the IRS," gasped the man.
"In that case," said Ralph, "take my hand!"
The man immediately grasped Ralph's hand and was hauled to safety. Ralph turned to the amazed by-standers. "Never ask a tax man to give you anything, you fools."
