			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York businessmen, as far as I can tell, are a <a href=http://images.google.com.au/images?rlz=1C1_____enAU351AU351&#038;sourceid=chrome&#038;q=new%20york%20businessmen&#038;um=1&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;sa=N&#038;hl=en&#038;tab=wi>special bunch</a>. They love big words, big gestures and big paychecks. Unfortunately, in these tough economic times even the New Yorkers find their incomes reduced and as a result their lavish culinary expenditure has been curbed.</p>
<p>Only through extreme cleverness and guile can these sharply-dressed chappies keep their gold-plated money clips filled with the filthy lucre of their exploits. Or the extreme cleverness and guile of someone they&#8217;re paying to be extremely clever and guile..y. Enter: the marketing dudes who work for <a href=http://maloneyandporcelli.com/index.php>Maloney and Porcelli</a>, who have been applied to the problem of not being able to afford aforementioned lavish culinary expenses and in their infinite wisdom have emerged with a twofold solution. </p>
<p>Said solution is <a href=http://expenseasteak.com/>Expense A Steak</a>. This website takes a dollar value (ostensibly the value of your dinner bill) and generates a PDF file containing scanned images of receipts for things that could reasonably be added to a business expense account. Office supplies, cab fares, budget lunches and the like. As you&#8217;d expect, these receipts (<a href=http://dancooper.net.au/uploads/MyExpenses3290.pdf>which look <i>extremely</i> authentic</a>) total to the same value of the dinner bill you entered on the previous page. Staple that sucker to your expense report and BAM &#8211; the evening out is on the boss.</p>
<p>Sadly, the receipts generated are specific to New York, so unless you live there this wonderful little loophole that could lead to full reimbursement of what I gather is <a href=http://maloneyandporcelli.com/menu.php>rather expensive New York cuisine</a> is unavailable to you.</p>
