Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 09, 2023

I know some accountants. They are quite variable across almost all the things you can think of: Gender, age, race, body type, even intelligence, though none of the are stupid. And they do enjoy getting exercise in a variety of ways and a variety of how much. What they mostly seem to share is a concern for accuracy.

On April 16, they want to get away from the IRS forms as fast as possible.

Always be suspicious of an accountant who starts his Bahamas vacation April 16th.

I have an older brother who is not only an account, and a triathlete, but he also has 3 different black belts in 3 different forms of Martial Arts.

Have no idea who does my taxes, but he/she comes in a box with a disk and instructions and generally gets it right. Can’t ask better.

I recall Hartford, CT used to have a tax day fun run, some ran in business suits, but I couldn’t find it on the internet!!

Most accountants don’t do taxes or only for their own company. They have the time to train. Even those who are deep into doing taxes don’t do them 16 hours a day. They can find time to work out if they want to.

Neat set=up, cool payoff. Oh wait, do you see what I did there?…Accountants, payoff, get it? (Sorry, Mr. Mallett, I know I’m not the humorist here.J)
