Funny problem in need of serious answer.
Okay... so I've played poker for a living for over two years... I applied for a job last week. They want to hire me but twenty minutes ago I get a call from their background-checker. The lady on the phone says, "Could you send us some W-2s showing that you were a professional poker player?"
W-2s???
I offer to send her a copy of my 2004 taxes but she says that they can only accept professionally-prepared taxes.
What is my move?
I thought of:
"Look, lady, I can rattle off stats for long enough to bore you to death. I can give you excruciatingly detailed stultifyingly boring hand-histories for hours or days."
OR...
"Why don't you get together all your most macho CEOs and tell them to bring loads of cash. I will demonstrate my craft until they are satisfied or until they are broke."
But if I want the job, what do I do now?
