The lighter side of accountingby Wise Accounts on 23 Feb 2012 permalink
In a volatile market you want to make sure your liquid assets don't go down the drain.
My daughter wants to run a mud-cake business. When I enquired she said she wanted to become filthy rich! My duck farm went bankrupt because I had too many bills. A debt collector summons a customer about a one year old unpaid bill. "What have you got to say for yourself?" The customer sheepishly replies: "Happy birthday?" Were you nervous about asking the paymaster for an advance on your wages? "No, I was calm and collected." The deceased millionaire rewarded Santa by putting a Claus in his will. The new accountant got fired because he thought Dun & Bradstreet was a downtown intersection! Husband: "The bank rang me to say the new check account I opened for you is overdrawn!" Wife: "Can't be - I still have another 24 blank checks in my book!" Husband: "The check you wrote to the department store came back!" Wife: "Great! What can we spend it on this time?" A banker is considered a good artist when she can draw interest. Bill: Australia is a land of untold wealth! Tom: Why, have you been peeking at my tax return? Bill: I made a bet with the guy who does our laundry and won a bundle. Tom: I guess you're not hard pressed for cash! Bill: I never worry about money! Tom: Why not? Bill: What's the point of worrying about something you don't have? Bill: I plan to beat the inheritance tax! Tom: How? Bill: I'm going to die broke. Wife: Let's go to sleep honey - it's late. Husband: Sorry, I'll stay up a bit longer. I'm reading a mystery. Wife: That looks like our tax return. Husband: it is.
