Expense a Steak

Oh my goodness, Expense a Steak is the funniest thing I've seen in years: Say you go to New York's Maloney & Porcelli for a steak with your work buddies, and you want to expense the cost, but you've racked up quite a bill. Just head to the website Expense a Steak, enter your bill's total, and they'll give you a page of fake (but convincingly crumpled) receipts for work-related expenses, like cabs and office supplies. Your company's accounting department won't look twice.

  4. This is super funny, but I can't help feeling that this is so, so unethical. But I don't think my sense of ethics would prevent me from using this from time to time :).

  14. Is this for real? It's incredibly unethical. I know people will say it's no big deal...but actually, it's pretty bad. This type of thing on a larger scale is something we would all decry as unconscionable. Nothing about it being small-scale makes it better.

  16. This is too funny! I'm sending it my cousin ... she's a graphic designer and has always said she'd just mock up some fake receipts if she ever got audited - ha ha - jokingly of course.

  24. well might be funny and joke, however working in RISK MANAGEMENT I don't like it even a little bit!

  25. however just a short comment on this, might be your controller is accepting the bill, but knowing internal auditors, I'm sure they would find out sooner or later - and even though probably it is not material, but because of fraud you will be so doubtlessly kicked out that you wouldn't have the time to collect any belongings - is it worth for a few $$$?

  32. I bought my Breitling Navitimer about 7 years ago and wear it nearly everyday. Despite wearing Breitling Avenger nearly every day, having gone diving with Chrono Superocean , kiteboarded with it, and trekked across Australia, Scandinavia and the Far East, Breitling Aeromarine looks as good today as the day I bought it.


    Though, the second is still a respectable choice if these women are picking the Christian Louboutin from a reputed dealer. Like purchasing a Christian Louboutin Pumps form a store round the corner would not mean that folk would be footed by the fake red signature sole. The over all look of the footwear wouldn't let folk to take a second to gauge that one is wearing a poor imitation. Choosing the right Christian Louboutin Boots would not only make one look nice but at the same time would talk rather a lot about the social position of the lady wearing Christian Louboutin Sandals .


    The christian audigier are the in thing and real fashion oriented. If you are looking for shades that draw attention then hardy shirt are the ones for you. The styles hardy shirts are very flashy with all of the stones and the tattoo designs look very nice. Women and Men are both drawn to hardy shirts stylish shades.
