The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was "twenty-two."Thesecond applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a calculator and showedthe answer to be between 3.999999 and 4.000001. The next person was alawyer. He stated that in the case of Jenkins v. Commr of Stamp Duties(Qld), two and two was proven to be four. The last applicant was anaccountant. The business man asked him, "How much is two and two?" Theaccountant got up from his chair, went over to the door, closed it thencame back and sat down. He leaned across the desk and said in a lowvoice, "How much do you want it to be?" He got the job.
What's the definition of an accountant?Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had in a way you don'tunderstand.
What's the definition of a good tax accountant?Someone who has a loophole named after him.
What's an extroverted accountant?One who looks at your shoes while he's talking to you instead of hisown.
What's an auditor?Someone who arrives after the battle and bayonets all the wounded.
Why did the auditor cross the road?Because he looked in the file and that's what they did last year.
How do you drive an accountant completely insane?Tie him to a chair, stand in front of him and fold up a roadmap thewrong way.
What's the most wicked thing a group of young accountants can do?Go into town and gang-audit someone.
What do accountants suffer from that ordinary people don't?Depreciation.
