ABCs Of A Good Accountant
Have a good laugh at this joke concerning accountants:
A businessman was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable person for the job. He asked each applicant the question, “How much is two and two?”
The first interviewee was a journalist. Her answer was “twenty-two”
The second applicant was an engineer. She pulled out a calculator and showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.
The last applicant was an accountant. When the businessman asked him the question, the accountant got up from his chair, went over to the door, closed it, came back and sat down. Then, he leaned across the desk and said in a low voice, “How much do you want it to be?”
Dropping off the fun out of this joke, accountants are indeed essential in the community of professionals. It cannot be denied that it is a job with a good distinction over others. At any rate, a good accountant will always be different from a so-so one.
