I could not resist posting these jokes. If you know any good jokes about accountants, send them to me (and if our staff laughs at them) they will be posted in the future.
HOT AIR BALLOON
A man piloting a hot air balloon discovers that he has wandered of course and is hopelessly lost. He descends to a lower altitude and locates a man on the ground. He lowers the balloon further and shouts. “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?’
The man below says, “Yes, you are in a hot air balloon, about thirty feet above this field.”
‘You must be an accountant,” says the balloonist.
‘Yes I am” exclaims the man. “And how do you know that.”
‘Well” says the balloonist, “what you tell me is technically correct, but of no use to anyone.”
The man below says, “You must be a manager.”
“Well yes I am” replies the balloonist, “how did you know?”
“Well’, says the accountant, “you don’t know where you are, or where you’re going, but you expect my immediate help. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault.”
COUNTING SHEEP
An accountant is having a hard time sleeping and goes to see his doctor. “Doctor, I just can’t get to sleep at night.”
“Have you tried counting sheep?”
“That’s the problem – I make a mistake and then spend 3 hours trying to find it.”
