Aaaaah, Poetry

So yesterday two accountants I work with were talking to each other. Here's how it went:

Accountant 1: Did you figure out what that $1.6M was?
Accountant 2: Yeah--we've still got $300k in there, but we'll need documentation for the allocations before I put it where it belongs.
Accountant 1: $300k doesn't worry me. We shit $300k in a day here.
Accountant 2: Thanks, that's...pretty.
Accountant 1: Then we take another $300k and wipe our asses with it.
Accountant 2: [Weeps with uncontrollable laughter]

When I left the literature Ph.D program after I got my master's, there were people who said it was a big mistake, that I wouldn't hear poetry at work every day. How wrong they were!
