Wow, Did it Hurt? The students in my third-grade class were bombarding me with questions about my newly pierced ears. "Does the hole go all the way through?" "Yes." "Did it hurt?" "Just a little." "Did they stick a needle through your ears?" "No, they used a special gun." Silence followed, and then one solemn voice called out, "How far away did they stand?"
Accounting the Corporate Way A mathematician, a statistician and a tax accountant apply for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What do two plus two equal?" The mathematician replies "Four." The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?" The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says "Yes, four, exactly." Then the interviewer calls in the statistician and asks the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The statistician says "On average, four - give or take 10 percent, but on average, four." Then the interviewer calls in the tax accountant and poses the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The tax accountant gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says "What do you want it to equal?"
