Those wacky tax guys…

Who says that tax lawyers don’t have a sense of humor? I recently pulled the following disclaimer off the bottom of an email sent by an in-house attorney at a capital management firm:
Disclaimers: This information was added automatically by Mozilla. It is not intended to be a signature. I am not your lawyer. You are not my client. If you think that there is useful tax advice in this e-mail, you are delusional. If the IRS wants to impose a penalty on you, waving this e-mail at them will make them laugh at you, and it won’t get you off the hook. If someone shows you this e-mail, and says it proves that some bright idea of his will save you a boatload of taxes, he is lying — run the other way as fast as you can.

Ken Lammers posted on his blog as a disclaimer (roughly):
“I am /a/ attorney. But I am not /your/ attorney. Nothing I say here should be construed as legal advice. In fact, everything I write is fiction.”
