When does a person decide to become an accountant?
When he realizes he doesn't have the charisma to succeed as an undertaker.

It is actually very rude for people to say accountancy is boring. In reality it is more interesting than many other jobs and considerably better paid. I would pick somebody up straightaway if they said accountancy is boring and ask them how much more interesting their own job was

Podrick · 19/12/2008 21:51

Yes Ronaldinhio. I think it is extremely rude to rubbish somebody's career choice with an ignorant stereotype.

Funny? Non.

I'm a management accountant so one of the evil ones that makes people stick to a budget ...

retiredgoth2 · 19/12/2008 21:57

....I confess that (on occasion) I find ignorant stereotyping very amusing.

This is one such occasion.

A fellow walks into a hospital and sees two doctors down on their hands and knees in one of the flower beds. He goes over and
says, "Can I help? Have you lost something? "
"No," says one of the doctors. "We're about to do a heart transplant on an accountant and we're looking for a suitable
stone."

tinselwrappedBodyBag · 19/12/2008 22:02

The doctor comes to see his heart transplant patient.

"This is good news. It is very unusual, but we have two donors to choose from for your new heart."

The patient is pleased. He asks, "What were their jobs?"

"One was a teacher and the other was an accountant."

"I'll take the accountant's heart," says the patient. "I want one that hasn't been used."

retiredgoth2 · 19/12/2008 22:02

....then we share an object of mirth, Podrick.

Splendid!
