They had just bought a house and were interested in additional tax deductions for which they might qualify. I mentioned that if the plumber's employer required him to have tools for which he wasn't reimbursed he could deduct those from his taxes. This concept intrigued Blondie who asked, "If I go back to modeling lingerie can I deduct my gym membership and tanning salon fees?"

Taxes, Nons, Taxes! She's asking about taxes! Focus!
Yeah yeah... now back to his... tools... can he deduct?
