Ethics

2002-01-30 21:01:54+01 by Dan Lyke 3 comments

Rob Morse has a great rant, including notes on Jesse Jackson selling out to Ken Lay, that also says:

No comment dept.: "I need someone to take the CPA ethics test for me," said an ad on www.craigslist.com. "Local CPA candidate has no time to study; will PAY you to take the ethics exam for me!"

Sounds like a stupid proposition; anyone who'd take the money to attend the test would have a damaged set of ethics, and so would do poorly on the test. :-)

"How many accountants does it take to change a light bulb?"

"What answer did you have in mind?"

Asking a group what 2 plus 2 is...

The physicist fills a blackboard up with gibberish, includes gravitation time constants, the speed of light and the velocity of sound underwater and announces profoundly: TWO!

The mathmagician defines the numbers as real integers, and quickly adds them together and says "Two!"

The CPA asks... "What do you want it to be?"
