Particularly interesting would be a balance sheet, and a p&l statement that identifies income and outgo for each agency that performs activities that are also available in the private sector (e.g. the government printing office).

This guy goes into a bar, and produces a midget from his pocket. The little guy promptly starts raising a ruckus, walking all over the bartop and harassing the customers, pissing in their drinks, leering at the female customers, and just generally being a real pain in the a**. The bartender says: "Guy, you're gonna have to leave. But first, tell me: where did you get the little guy...?" The guy explains <insert standard leprechaun story here> "and the leprechaun was so grateful that he said he'd grant me one wish." "So what'd you wish for?" "A twelve-inch prick."
