"Worry"

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."
