You know your business has hit a low point when your customers start paying you in toilet paper. This actually happened to Jason yesterday.
He did some work for one of our neighbors, and as payment, the neighbor gave Jason two jumbo packs of Charmin.
You're probably thinking that this may be a step up for Jason, who sometimes works for free or even pays people to let him clean up their yards, but I thought it was a bit odd.
It actually reminded me of a time when a professor at BYU tried to pay me for editing his long and very poorly written paper with a stick of gum--I refused the payment, thinking I'd rather work for nothing than for gum (how insulting!).
Of course, we can always use toilet paper.
I'm just not sure how to enter it in the accounting books. . . .

That is hilarious! BUT at least you can always use TP:)
I guess you could count that as an untaxable benifit! That is really quite funny when you think of it. Maybe in some countries it would be worth as much as being paid in gold.
