Hi All,
I wanted to have some fun with today’s post. For those of you who don’t know, I am a major fan of slapstick comedy. I think laughter keeps us young, and so we need to have fun and not be so serious all the time. One of my favorite comedians is Jeff Foxworthy, famous for his “You Might Be a Redneck If” jokes. So I thought I would make today’s post a twist of his style. Here goes!
You Might Have Outgrown Your Accountant If….
- His office is a table at Starbucks that he “reserves” by leaving his notebook on it while he orders.
- All of his shirts have a big green square logo on the left chest pocket.
- He thinks the current #1 song is Surf City by the Beach Boys.
- His comb-over is 3 feet long and sort of just wraps around his head a few times.
- The hard candy on his desk is a brand that they haven’t made since the 70’s.
- It appears it actually would take 4 of him to change a light bulb.
- He dances around in the street wearing a Statue of Liberty costume to drum up new business.
- You can smell him from the parking lot when you show up for a meeting.
- He has made the news for not paying his own taxes.
- His office looks like it was struck by lightning, a tornado, and earthquake. All at the same time.
And last but certainly not least, you might have outgrown your current accountant if…
- He has 3 teeth. And 2 of those are in his pocket.
You might notice I use “he” in all of these examples. That’s because if your accountant is a woman, she is probably doing a great job and you should give her a raise.
Apologies if I offended anyone, just trying to have some fun with accountant stereotypes today.
Have a splendid day!
