    Accountant Joke 7

    A young accountant spends a week at his new office with the retiring accountant he is replacing. Each and every morning as the more experienced accountant begins the day, he opens his desk drawer, takes out a worn envelope, removes a yellowing sheet of paper, reads it, nods his head, looks around the room with renewed vigor, returns the envelope to the drawer, and then begins his day’s work. After he retires, the new accountant can hardly wait to read for himself the message contained in the envelope in the drawer, particularly since he feels so inadequate in replacing the far wiser and more highly esteemed accountant. Surely, he thinks to himself, it must contain the great secret to his success, a wondrous treasure of inspiration and motivation. His fingers tremble anxiously as he removes the mysterious envelope from the drawer and reads the following message: “Debits in the column toward’t he file cabinet. Credits in the column toward the window.”

    I don't get it. Is it insinuating that after all those years as an accountant, he still has trouble remembering what the difference is between debit/credit?

    There is a job opening and the hiring manager has chosen three candidates to interview. He calls in the first guy who is an engineer. He asks the man a simple question “what is two plus two,” the engineer pulls out his slide ruler and states “the answer you are looking for it between 3.94 and 4.03.”

    The hiring manager says thank you and calls in the next candidate who is a lawyer. He asks him the same question “what is two plus two,” the lawyer responds, “in the case of harris vs the state it was determined that two plus two is four.”

    The hiring manager says thank you and calls in the next candidate who is an accountant. He asks him the same question, “What is two plus two?” The accountant gets up from his chair, goes over and closes the door, sits back down, leans in and says real quietly, “What do you want it to be.”

    One of my favorite jokes.
