No, seriously. They tell accountant jokes.
The "classic" one is the self-deprecating, "An actuary is someone who didn't have the personality to be an accountant."

My mac is more fun than an accountant, my linux box weirder, and my windoze box crankier. All three with personality, hence my realization that I'd read the punchline reversed in my head, and the deleting.

Our wings are not tired.
Glances up at Accounting Degree hanging on office wall. Reminds self that said degree never was used. Resumes personality having behavior.

This is just one of the many tragic cases of chartered accountancy. Please give generously so that a cure can be found.
