I once had a minister claim our lunch as an expense. We just talked about movies and women for the entire hour and at the end, knowing my answer, he asked, "So, wanna come to my church Sunday?"

I would greatly appreciate the white iPhone!
My uncles friend bought an iPad when they first came out and put it on his expense report in hopes he would get away with it, and when he was confronted by his boss he said "I bought it for your birthday next week!"
...didn't work lol

My old boss expensed his son's prom limo and hotel room. How do I know? To avoid arousing suspicion he had to have the limo pick his son and his date at my work. His secretary is good friends with me and she's the one who told me why they were picked up their, lol, she overheard him making all the arrangements. Expensed them claiming they were to butter up, out of town buyers.
A collegue of mine had to take a business trip to LA from NY and expensed anal bleaching. Of course that was probably changed to "Deep tissue massage" before it was turned in but I'm still laughing and wondering what in the world does that involve and if that's a west coast thing.

When I worked for a previous homebuilding company, the Director of Construction took several of our employees to Reynosa. Boys town. Next time dude, don't use a credit card and submit receipts (in espanol, mind you) and pass it off as a business dinner in ANOTHER COUNTRY!!! 12 guys? Really???
Spanish Flowers isn't the name of a Mexican restaurant.
I'd love the white iPhone 4 and even if I don't win, I hope this made someone smile.

Expense
The story goes, a guy had a wild night at a strip club. Left the expenses sitting in his pending transactions. The day before he was going to get can for it. He came clean and said he would pay it back. Paid it back and everything was fine. Pretty sure his boss told him to come clean before the hammer came down.

Super strict on expense accounts at my work - I did accidentally swipe my Amex at a car wash once.
Most I've ever expensed for a single item was a flight to NY ~ $1200

An $1800 expense for TenJune, a high end club in NYC, with a clients name on it who is 87 years old.... Also the check out time was well after 4AM.. We have to provide clients names

WELL! .. without spending too much time typing the story out, I'll try my best to give the short version.
So, my company Christmas party was in Orange County. We were in San Diego, so they sent a "party bus" to come fetch us, and drive us to Orange County and then to take us back. The "party bus" that arrived was the same "party bus" that carted me and my drunk friends around Cabo San Lucas during Spring Break. Said "party bus" did not only NOT have a party, but it also did NOT have air conditioning.
At said event, we were told that all cocktails would be paid for by the company. Well, when it came time to leave, I was handed a bill for $350. So, I did what any employee (on the eve of my resignation from the company) with a company credit card would do -- EXPENSED IT.
The next morning, I ordered five bottles of Veuve champagne (one for each of my team members) - also expensed.
I kind of went out with a bang. Oops.
On my last day, I was asked about the charges. I laughed (at the email) and told replied that there had seemed to be some kind of misunderstanding. The next day was my last day.. possibly the best day ever at that company.
The end.

Crazy Stuff...
My craziest purchase would have to be either an easel for an African Elefant baby or a leapfrog system for a baby chimpanzee.

Craziest Expense
The craziest expense I have ever heard of being submitted was a $300 bar tab in NYC. Unfortunately the person didn't get away with it and everyone else who was travelling had stricter rules but I guess it was worth a try!

A friend of a friend put a labrador dog on an expense report and classified it as a "security measure"
Condoms. Not like, "I was one wild trip and this chick and me just hit it off...." No, I'm talking I was working for a company doing service runs(I'll leave the name out, they sucked, but I mean them no ill will), and they told me to expense my lunch(It had been a long weekend) and I grabbed it a target. Well, they were also selling a new brand of condoms me and my girlfriend wanted to try. So I popped over and put them on the company account. I figured "Hell, they're keeping me from enough as it is, might as well try to make up for it.".
When they asked my for my expenses, I put them down as "Personal Hygiene Item"

Steak Escape
While working a trade show in Minneapolis a co-worker and I expensed and shared a 48 ounce steak that cost $120. After that we combined our per diems and chartered a limo to escort us around town for the night.
Both were fun to explain to our boss...somehow blaming it on eight trade shows in eight weekends did the trick!

Drunken expense
I was Hosting a group students, faculty and dean for an end of the year celebration at a nice Brazilian BBQ. Alcohol was flowing well and most of the VIP guest including myself had plenty to drink. At the end of the night I had to pay for the bill... I was so drunk I did not notice the included gratuity fee. Instead... I added an extra $700 to the bill. Suffice it to say, the waiters were happy but when I had to explain it to the powers to be at the reimbursement office.... They were not so grateful. Luckily I was still able to graduate and got reimbursed and the waiters..... Got a fat $1300 Tip for the night! That should pay for a few white iPhones

A coworker of mine expensed out a gallon of nacho cheese. A client of his was told he was allowed to request anything and my coworker was to retrieve it for him. Along with standard items like dry cleaning, food, etc... he requested a 1 gallon can of nacho cheese because he had seen it in a movie.
