Got a question for all you accountants.
How would a great accountant answer this question from the boss?
"How much is 2 +2 ?"

It used to be purple, but now you have to check every time you turn on the TV.

Still don't get it. Is it from a song?

Bending the rules

Really?

When you said 'the boss,' I thought maybe it was something from a Springsteen song. LOL

my interpretation of the "joke"
is people talk about accountants being able to manipulate the numbers draw any conclusion you want
politicians are very prone to trying to skew the data with "THEIR " interpretation of the numbers

Ah, okay. I see. I guess you have to be an accountant to not get the joke. It's a little complicated to explain, but it's nearly always the client who's doing the deceiving and manipulating.

I thought forensic meant microscopic or ancient/archeological. lol Turns out it's some kind of legal cuisine.

You're not alone. When I first heard the term, I thought it had to do with dead people.
