An accountant and an economist are walking through a forest.
They encounter a frog.
"I bet you $100 you won't lick it," says the economist.
The accountant, daring, licks the frog and receives $100.
They walk further, see another frog.
"Lick this frog, and you get your $100 back!" says the accountant. The economist looks at his friend in the eye, licks the frog and retrieves his $100.
"What was the point of this exercise? We've both done something disgusting, and we're no better off!"
"We have grown the local economy by $200!" says the economist.
"Yeah but we owe the government $40 each!"

*sigh*
From the economist's point of view, they have each spent $100 therefore $200 has been introduced to the local economy. From the accountant's point of view, each has won $100 and has to pay tax on it.
It is funny because in reality they are no better off than the start, and they have just licked a frog.

I think the accountant is wrong because winning are not subject to income tax. They are not earned income.
