Accountant joke

[taxxcpa]

An architect, an artist and an accountant were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The accountant said, "I like both." "Both?" The accountant replied "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the office and get some work done."

I like it.

Good one, Atticus.

I think I heard the same joke back in my engineering days -- with an engineer in the spot the accountant holds in this version. Still very funny!

Every time my wife is having a hard time falling asleep, she leans over asks me "Tell about work today, honey".

[Catherine]

Think we've seen this before but it's still fun:

Ah, thank you for reminding me for my annual viewing,

Now why do I like this job again?

[jklcpa]

Catherine, that was perfect. Thousands on a degree, no time to use the bathroom or shower. ROFL

[ILLMAS]

I have to share this with my accountant friends.

I had not seen that Catherine. Thanks for sharing! I know my husband will get a kick out of that one too - if I ever see him again!

Where was this when I was in school or studying for the CPA?
