to feel slightly miffed when just because dh is an accountant, people who do not know him, think he's a nerd or a geek

[ALovelySongbirdInaPearTree]

people that don't even know him, when they find out his an accountant say oh i bet he's fun, or exciting.

So what.

I work in IT so I am a nerd, a geek and also should have acne and Iron Maiden t-shirts.

But who cares. It's funny. Just gives you the chance to disappoint expectations.

actual fun accountancy site

yeah well I would enjoy it if you weren't doing it in such an utterly dull, tedious and repetitive style

No problem
My charge out is £200/hr; since it is christmas time a donation to any charity with a grey logo will be fine

podflick, on a scale of 1 to 10, how dangerous would you rate your job?

If I told you I'd have to kill you.
Have you made a donation yet for my time?

grey logo...a retired accountants charity?

podflick chill man

What a great joke, you must have everyone at your feet with that kind of humour

Better the accountants home than the home for oh so funny would be humourists

Of course we are boring you podrick. But who wouldn't given your incisive and hilarious input.

We really are not worthy...but at least you are.....popular

What do you call an accountant who is seen talking to someone?

Popular

lol

A patient was at her doctor's office after undergoing a complete physical exam. The doctor said, "I have some very grave news for you. You only have six months to live."
The patient asked, "Oh doctor, what should I do?"

The doctor replied, "Marry an accountant."

"Will that make me live longer?" asked the patient.

"No," said the doctor, "but it will SEEM longer."

I think most of the accountancy jokes are told by accountants - does anybody else spend that much time thinking about accountants?

I suppose there are some people with glamour jobs (actors? vets?) but accountancy is no more or less exciting than many other jobs depending on where you work and what you specialise in. Excluding the bits that involve taking drugs and having famous boyfriends, its more exciting than what Kate Moss does for a living, for instance.

....at least this thread has served to dispel the fallacious image that accountants are humourless.

Splendid! Another stereotype scotched...

Mumsnet lives to serve....what's it like being a retiredgoth?
