We ran across this little honey from a fellow GDiFCer:
I’ll bet that pig was delicious! But where is the cowpigturducken at? God knows how long this receipt was, but I hear it was about 4 feet long. Surely somebody has a receipt that at least rivals the length of Bubble Tape; 6 feet of gum!
Send in a pic of your most outrageous receipt to editor [at] gettingdrunkinfirstclass [.] com and maybe we’ll post it.

Man, how do you even play off a whole pig when you turn in your receipts? Damn!

Are you kidding? At $230, that pig is a steal!

Favourite expense item was a hooker (sorry, “escort”) for a client at a hotel bar in Vegas (the sales VP told me not to come back without a signed contract; they just don’t want to know the dirty details in finance). She had a deal with the bar where it went on the bar tab as “Entertainment” for $1250. Wish I still had the expense report with my JW VP signing off on it, all the while trying to play “plausible deniability” with Jesus.

what a great place to hide the $ 9 umbrella - when it rained 10 inches in 2 hours - that got rejected in your last T&E -)
Only 2 Mojitos? I guess the flight in got them started, eh?

I dunno, $230 for a whole (roast suckling?) pig sounds like a bargain to me. Look at these quantities! S/He must have been feeding an army.
I’d guess Snickers might be a slice of snickerdoodle pie; but what’s a ‘weedeater’? Or a ‘volcano cup’??
Oh, and Vinnie, you missed the 3 Dos Equis and the Black Mojito further up the list. Only 5 drinks for a party this size? What a bunch of teetotallers! Hic!

Look for the “>” as I believe that denotes an alcoholic beverage (Used to separate alcohol tax). I see a
>CAIPIRINHA(?)
>DOS EQUIS
>LEINE HONEY-TA
>BLACK MOJITO
>VOD MOJITO X 2
+
Coffee
2 (?) x CAPPUCCINO

Mind you I grant that someone may have had 2 drinks, and the a coffee with dessert, but this still puts the party at anywhere from 5-10 peeps.
Still, I would’ve like to have seen the final tally. (And if that included gratuity or not)

Haha, I swear this is my boyfriend’s tab from Tuesday night….I sadly was not there to eat the pig they had cooked by their personal chef for the night.

I once had a boss who would have never asked for the detailed receipt. He would file the Amex receipt with the total and write his name and “XX others”. XX = the number which conveniently brought the average tab down to around $ 20 or so. XX on some occasions exceeded the legal seating limit in the restaurant. -)
Talk about vicarious - I “enjoyed” a number of those meals as part of the XX when I was a few thousand miles away…

We don’t turn in paper receipts anymore, as long as it’s on the corp card. All you have is a total and an expense category. You figure the rest out.

In my experience the hookers (sorry sluts) come free with the bottle of cristal (remy, diaka, lafite/margaux… choose your poison) and don’t need to be expensed.
My favorite receipts are those stained by the nights escapades… wine spills, cigarette burns, etc. The expense audit dude always has fun with those.

As a Minneapolis resident (the weekends I’m not thrillin’ and billin’) I can confirm that the establishment in question is def chino latino!!
My favorite receipt ever was the “AntiReceipt” - a spreadsheet from a client, sent to our HR department, itemizing my expenses, how much the client was willing to reimburse, and what the difference was… this spreadsheet had 3 tabs and was about 500K in size…
on disk, not dollars

My best story is from a 3 week gig in Tokyo.
We first went to one of these private Kobe beef resturants with our client - drank him out of beer - literally –and dropped about $1810 on the AMEX for 7 of us. There were 5 males and two (Japanese) females in our group (statement relevancy established later.) But we were just getting started.
The client then says to me, ‘hey its time for 7th heaven’, I look at him and say, ‘you know you are going to see this again’, and he says, “I approve the consultant’s expenses…no problem.”
So we lose the two Japanese females and the 5 of us head to 7th heaven for some ‘entertainment’ - I putting up my AMEX for everyone. It was about $70 per head to get in. We were immediately surrounded by the most beautiful western girls and started really drinking and ‘dancing’ (wink, wink).
We spent about 3 hours there — my single greatest night ever in a strip club! — Lights come on and I go to sign out and my eyes nearly pop out of my head — the bottom line says (in yen) 360,000..My quick (well not so quick at 3 am) math tells me I’m signing for something like $4000!!!
Sensing my slight hesitation to sign, the manager then says to me, (do the fast talking, clipped japanese accent with me here) ….would you rike multiple receipts from Chinese restaurants?” Sensing that ANYTHING will make this easier to push this T&E through..I quickly grasp at that straw. He breaks it out into 4 different transactions…sweet. Life is good.
