Loofa sponges
A pilot from Franklin, Tenn., attempted to deduct loofa sponges as business expenses for his aviation activities.
Among the other "supplies" he tried to slip by the IRS were grass seed, a shower curtain and sporting goods items.
The court found that these were personal expenses and not necessary for his job as a pilot.
