    Way to think outside the box, though. Good on ya.

    I asked my doctor to prescribe me a motorcycle. I got the prescription, but the motorcycle wasn't on my insurance carrier's approved drug list........:p

    It only becomes a business expense after you have to shoot some clown washing his dishes and taking his thirty in the fuel isle.

    Correct. These are also offenses deserving of a bullet and I would think deductable. Consult your tax professional first.
