Business Jokes
Did
you pay taxes?
A
nervous taxpayer was unhappily conversing with the IRS Tax auditor who had come
to review his records.
At one point the auditor exclaimed, "Mr. Carelton, we feel it is a great
privilege to be allowed to live and work in the USA. As a citizen you have an
obligation to pay taxes, and we expect you to eagerly pay them with a
smile."
"Thank goodness," returned Mr. Carelton, with a giant grin on his
face, "I thought you were going to want me to pay with cash."
Hiring
an accountant
Kowalski,
fresh out of accounting school, went to a interview for a good paying job. The
company boss asked various questions about him and his education, but then asked
him, "What is three times seven?"
"Twenty-two," Kowalski replied.
After he left, he double-checked it on his calculator (he knew he should have
taken it to the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job.
About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was hired for the job! He
was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but was still very curious.
The next day, Kowalski went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got
such a simple question wrong. The boss shrugged and said, "Well, you were
the closest."
I
have a big problem
Bill
and Boris are taking a break from a long summit. Boris says to Bill, "Bill,
you know, I have a big problem. I don't know what to do about it. I have a
hundred bodyguards and one of them is a traitor. I don't know which one."
"Not a big deal Boris, I'm stuck with a hundred economists I have to listen
to all the time before any policy decision, and only one tells the truth but
it's never the same one."
