Holiday Humour #6: Accountants

Accountants

Accountants are an integral part of the financial system, as the holders of debits and credits, cashflow and balance sheets.

Known as boring folks:

A woman went to the doctor, who broke her the dreadful news that she only had six months left to live.

"That's terrible doctor, what should I do?" she pleaded.

"I suggest you marry an accountant", he replied.

"Why?  Will that make me live longer?" she asked.

"No ... it will just seem a lot longer."

They're not always boring though:

"My company is looking for an accountant."

"I thought you hired one last week?"

"That's the one we're looking for!"
