Oh, quit with your logic. It's all about the game! There are girls out there who actually like that kind of treatment, you are going to get him in trouble if you tell him to act in a way that isn't himself once the girl finds out what he is really like.Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

npgraphicdesign 2 #62 August 3, 2009 Quote uhm, i am an accountant! what you got to say about me then!? Just for you...to lighten this up a bit An accountant visited the Natural History museum. While standing near the dinosaur he said to his neighbor: "This dinosaur is two billion years and ten months old". "Where did you get this exact information?" "I was here ten months ago, and the guide told me that the dinosaur is two billion years old." ------------- Two accountants are in a bank, when armed robbers burst in. While several of the robbers take the money from the tellers, others line the customers, including the accountants, up against a wall, and proceed to take their wallets, watches, etc. While this is going on accountant number one jams something in accountant number two's hand. Without looking down, accountant number two whispers, "What is this?" to which accountant number one replies, "it's that $50 I owe you." ------------- A patient was at her doctor's office after undergoing a complete physical exam. The doctor said, "I have some very grave news for you. You only have six months to live." The patient asked, "Oh doctor, what should I do?" The doctor replied, "Marry an accountant." "Will that make me live longer?" asked the patient. "No," said the doctor, "but it will SEEM longer." ------------- 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 three hours trying to find it." ------------- Why accountants don't read novels? Because the only numbers in them are page numbers. ------------- A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Want to hear an accountant joke?" The guy next to him replies, "Well, before you tell that joke, you should know that I'm 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, and I'm an accountant. And the guy sitting next to me is 6'2" tall, 225 pounds, and he's an accountant. Now, do you still want to tell that joke?" The first guy says, "No, I don't want to have to explain it two times." ------------- Why do accountants make good lovers? They're great with figures. ------------- If an accountant's wife cannot sleep, what does she say? "Darling, could you tell me about your work." ------------- A 54-year-old accountant leaves a letter for his wife one evening which read: "Dear Wife, I am 54 years old, and by the time you get this letter I will be at the Grand Hotel with my beautiful and sexy eighteen year old secretary." When he arrived at the hotel, there was a letter waiting for him that read as follows: "Dear Husband, I too am 54 years old, and by the time you receive this letter I will be at the Savoy Hotel with my eighteen year old toy boy. Because you are an accountant, you will surely appreciate that l8 goes into 54 many more times than 54 goes into 18." ------------- 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 the file cabinet. Credits in the column toward the window." ------------- Pick-Up Lines to use on Accounting Chicks You've got a lovely pair of W-2's. Please, baby, let me withhold you. Nice assets. Lady, you make my pants file for an extension. In my office, I.R.S. stands for I'm Really Sexy. Let's fill out a 1040 - you are a 10 and I'm a 40. If I help you screw Uncle Sam, can I be next? Technically, having sex with me is like a charitable gift. You're entitled to a $5,000 tax break on your municipal bond income... now let's do it. You're the kind of girl I could take home to mother - which is good, since I still live with her. ------------- How accountants do it... Accountants do it by the book. Accountants do it within budget. Accountants do it to the bottom line. Accountants do it with double entries. Accountants do it between spreadsheets. Accountants are Certified to do it in Public. Accountants do it without losing their balance. ------------- You might be an Accountant if... you refer to your child as Deduction 214. you deduct Exlax as "Moving expenses". you have no idea that GAP is also a clothing store. at the move Indecent Proposal you did a NPV calculation. getting to sleep is an exciting event that you look forward to all day long. your idea of trashing your hotel room is refusing to fill out the guest comment card. you are doing it now because you checked the file and found that you did it last year. you decide to change your name to a symbol and you choose the double underline "======". ------------- How many accountants does it take to change a light bulb? "What kind of answer did you have in mind?" Two, one to change the light bulb and one to check that it was done within the given budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

npgraphicdesign 2 #64 August 3, 2009 Quote BRAVO! As for Olympia, maybe you should chill out. Obviously you've hit a sore spot with her a few too many times, hence her response. Oh that...and your blatant generalization of all engineers. There are some people who you think might have a tepid personality because of the nature of their profession, yet they are some of the most amazing and personable people you'll ever meet. Just like some people who you think should have an outgoing personality and great social skills...could be an absolute bore.

Immagine not being able to graduate due to not being able to square dance nor being able to walk up to some one and ask for a dance? I think it would be a good thing.
