New Accountant

"New Job"

A young man hired by a supermarket reported
for his first day of work. The manager greeted
him with a warm handshake and a smile, gave
him a broom and said, "Your first job will be to
sweep out the store."

"But I'm a college graduate," the young man replied
indignantly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that," said the manager.
"Here, give me the broom -- I'll show you how."

"We Have An Opening For You"

A man went to apply for a job. After filling out all
of his applications he waited anxiously for the
outcome.

The employer read all his applications & said,
'We have an opening for people like you.'

'Oh, great,' the man said, 'What is it?'

'It's called the door!'

"New Accountant"

Fresh out of business school, the young man
answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was
being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a
small business that he had started himself.

"I need someone with an accounting degree," the
man said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to
do my worrying for me."

"Excuse me?" the accountant said.

"I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I
don't want to have to worry about money. Your job
will be to take all the money worries off my back."

"I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the
job pay?"

"I'll start you at eighty thousand."

"Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed.
"How can such a small business afford a sum like
that?"

"That," the owner said, "is your first worry."
