When our workplace went to prox cards instead of punch-in combos, I
found that, if my wallet was oriented properly in my back pocket, I
could open the door by getting my butt close enough to it.

To amazed onlookers, I explained that I had had the prox card
surgically implanted. None of them reacted to the joke.

Tax collectors, of course, are not noted for their sense of humor.
