Who knew sweating profusely could get you out of paying taxes?

Tom Walpole, a CPA from Rochester, N.Y., had a client who successfully wrote off the more than $10,000 he paid for central air conditioning in his home and cottage.

He claimed they were medical expenses, since he had a condition involving excessive sweating that made it necessary for him to have air conditioning.

He attached a doctor's prescription to his tax return stating that the loss of fluids from sweating could potentially pose a health threat, and the IRS let it through.
