Skirted accountants
I've noticed a great number of active members here are accountants...
Is that because men wearing skirts is a formula that just.... adds up??
Or maybe... it just... makes cents...
Maybe wearing trousers is seen as a... debit..
Because a skirt wearing man in the house is always a... credit...
Okay... I'll stop....

Seconded. The more puns you can put on the ledger the better your balance will be.Fred in Skirts wrote:Don't stop!
It's not precisely the same thing, but I've tangled with accounting software before, and can honestly say that it's deathly dull and demanding of extreme precision (e.g. floating point is not good enough). Those encounters alone usually made me head out to a local bar shortly after I finished the task. And before anyone asks: Yes, I know COBOL. I also know what packed decimal is. I'm not sure whether it's related to my skirt-wearing, but at some level it possibly is -- as a form of rebellion.

Wearing a skirt is easy, if you've got the drive. When Carl goes out, anyone can see he's got his own program, some might wonder if he's non-binary, to which his answer may not compute with some... But one thing is for sure... he's got a lot of soft-wear....

As an old accountant myself,
I assure you that Accountants never die.
We do lose our balance though.

Re: Skirted accountants
Is an accountant as dull as a Dutch civil servant?
There is a rumor that when a Dutch civil servant dies and is cremated, they make sleeping powder out of the ashes.

Re: Skirted accountants
The government here in Ireland have developed quite some time ago a weapon so deadly that it cannot ever be fired. It is called the 'Civil Servant'. These carry with them a guaranteed good pension which any good accountant will tell you will see them comfortably off in their dotage.
Not being one of either, I SKIRT the issue and hire one to do the necessary each year and I'm still working at 75+ to stave off abject poverty for the mo. When I do stop work, there'll be no more bespoke outfits, that's for sure.
