You a Lemming from that old computer game Lemmings?

Despite what a lot of people might say, being a lemming is a full time freaking job. It takes a lot of work to walk in a straightline. And a lot of upkeep to do it day in and day out throughout the late 80's and the early 90's. So if you are one, these are some deduction tips for you:
  • Green hair dye. You think it's vanity? It's not. No way in hell you would get hired to walk around cliffs if your hair was not green. You going grey? You aren't a lemming, you are washed up. (Supplies)
  • Miner's Axe. For some lemmings these are provided (the ten or so that were allowed this level) but for most a miner's axe is a thing that they have to purchase on their own or be fated to run endlessly into a rock and face the consequences of a monotonous existence or a deadly fall. It's a work tool, obviously, and something you can't go without. (Supplies)
  • Xanax. It's not a drug, it's a necessity. Watching all of your friends fall to their grizzly demise takes a toll on a lemming, so cheer up and chill out. Take a Xanax. (Medicine)
  • Food (Meals and Entertainment). NOT DEDUCTIBLE! You don't eat and don't do anything for fun. You're a lemming. We have fun playing with you, you walk in a straight line. You deduct anything like this and you're sure to get audited.
  • An old MS-DOS computer. This is like asking if a human being can deduct the earth beneath their feet... can you? Well the answer is maybe. A good CPA will be able to deduct the very thing that created you. But a bad one will just land you in jail for tax evasion, and there is no escape... even with a floater lemming.
Taxes, much like a lemming's path, is inescapable. It's how you do it where the magic lies. Remember that.
