I had been trying to schedule a payroll audit for months.  The employer used every excuse possible to postpone.  The east coast had been pounded with heavy rain.  One rainy morning I was complaining to all who would listen that the employer in question would probably cancel again.  One of my “buddies” left the office and called me pretending to be the employer.  He said his office had been flooded and he had to postpone the audit.  I hung up and sat at my desk fuming.  Then I remembered the employer’s offices were on an upper floor of an office building.  My rage increased as I reached for the phone to call the Fund attorney to complain about the “the flood of epic proportion” that would be needed to make the employer’s latest excuse possible.  My “buddy” made me hang up, he explained his prank and we had a good laugh.  Several days later I arrived at the employer to do the audit.  I sat there for several hours waiting for the employer to arrive.  What was his excuse?  He said his basement at home flooded and he had been cleaning it up.
