"I'll just give you the money, and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this."
R.I.P. Mitch
18My absolute favorite joke of his wasn't even a real joke.
Apparently Mitch was checking into a hotel and the receptionist asked for a credit card. Mitch being the guy he was he didn't have a credit card. So he pulls out a big wad of cash and says "Nah man this will cover it". So the receptionist is like "No sir, I need a credit card". Mitch's reaction was priceless. Apparently he replied "Nah man, this is what the card represents. That would be like if you hired a Frank Sinatra impersonator and the real Frank Sinatra showed up and you were like, 'Nah we're gonna go with the impersonator'"
I forget who told that story but it always makes me laugh hard.
17Beautiful. Someone had to make a documentary. It's on my bucket list.

I have expensed a donut

Patrice O'Neal had a great joke that was kind of the opposite of this.
13George Costanza's over-stuffed wallet. Now I'm thinking that man knew stuff.

On a serious note, it happens to me often. We're a small crew of field service employees, and our meals are covered when we'reout and about, so when it's my time to get lunch, I need the receipt, and sometimes it lists donuts.
On an even more serious note, that font really gives me a dyslexic attack. And I don't even have dyslexia.
12Per diem is the first thing I thought of.
2That's usually what I do, but because of some bureaucratic reason I never understood, some projects don't allow per diem, so we have to provide specifics instead.

Yeah eating on expenses this is needed
2I concur, that font the website uses are random.
A friendly heads-up... I am finding a couple more of my favorite comedians with quotes. And the fonts again, out of my control. I will try to avoid the most visually itchy ones.1
What a terrible font...

Suppose you walked out of the donut shop and were accused of theft. Then the receipt would come in handy.
7If you’re accused of a crime that happened across town while you were at the donut shop, you could prove that you were at the donut shop (and not at the scene of the crime) when the crime occurred.
Aside from those two scenarios, that’s pretty much the only reasons you’d need a receipt for a donut.
4The receipt proves that someone bought a donut but it doesn't prove that you bought the donut.
Imagine a scenario where someone buys a donut then heads across town. They commit a crime while their accomplice buys another donut. Then they swap receipts. They now have "proof" that they were at the donut shop at the time of the crime and may even be able to get the cashier to testify that they did indeed sell that person a donut that day.

Reimbursement for travel expenses.
5If this is a real Mitch joke, it's one of the weaker ones.
-1The post title one was my own. I should make time to find and watch his sets. Man is legend and I've never heard many of his material.
