Accountant: Hi, Cathy. Nice suit. Cathy: Thank you. This basic business suit cost three times as much as the male equivalent and took ten times as long to find. It's "exhibit A" on my list of female-surcharge deductions. Accountant: How have you been? Cathy: Great. Thanks to my healthy life-sytle, I've been a full participant in the economy without being a drain on health-care! Therefore, I'm deducting all 1997 fruits, whole grains and excercise equipment! Accountant: How's that little dog? Cathy: I would have gone crazy without her last year! I've listed her food, flea threatments and vet bills as my "mental health" deduction. Accountant: Parents ok? Cathy: Yes, I keep in touch by regular phone, cell phone, fax and modem...all of which are itemized in my "family values" deduction. Accountant: Coffee? Cathy: Oh, no. I won't let you incur even a penny of refreshment expense for me! I want you to keep all your hard-earned money, just as I know you want me to keep mine!! Account: There's no such thing as small talk in the life of a C.P.A.
