case before the Fifth Circuit
. It dealt with the issue of whether clothes purchased solely for use at work could be treated as a business expense deduction on a taxpayer's return.
HELD:
- An "objective" (reasonableness) test is used to determine whether clothes worn at work were adaptable to general usage and therefore not deductible.
- The clothes in this case were adaptable to general usage, regardless of taxpayer's personal preference against wearing the clothes outside of work.

I can't believe that having said what I said was interpreted as having been what I said when I said it, because I said it where I said it, when I said it, and who I said it to.
I can't believe what I said about myself. What I said in my own private conversations with myself to an ESPN producer are my business, and I had no business saying them to someone else.
