These were sharp businessmen, the four guys who pointed out that there were three dead trees in my backyard that needed to be cut down lest they attract horrible bugs that would infest my entire property. They would cut them down and remove them for $475.
In cash.
We dickered back and forth and finally settled on $350. In cash.
They attacked the trees like ants on ice cream. In 45 minutes, the trees were gone without a trace.
I paid them. In cash.
Cash transactions - just the thought of them - drive the IRS crazy. How does the IRS know if you reported all of them or the correct amount? They don't have a credit card or bank transaction to trace when they go through your private records. It's gotta be really annoying to them.
