My Accountant Is Not As Funny As His Brothers

Because I am, of course, rich, I have an accountant. Of course, I am being a bit facetious here. I have a few bucks lying around and many people SAY I am rich. Maybe I am. Who knows? But I don't consider myself that.
In any event, my accountant has two brothers. Both are cartoonists. Gary and Glenn McCoy.
They have a series they did called The Flying McCoys, and of course, Glenn is a conservative cartoonist. They do the panel thing sort of like The Far Side.
I have never met Gary, but I have frequently played poker with Glenn. Their brother, my accountant, is very dry. Not NEARLY as funny as his brothers. But he is good at what he does and is worth every penny.
How in the world did he wind up being an accountant?
Now THAT'S funny.

Nothing dry about saving you a few bucks! Give him a few drinks and he'll loosen up

I love the Far Side. I'm not familiar with The Flying McCoys. I'm glad you have a good accountant. I take care of our own finances...but then we're not rich like you are!

Me? Rich? lol. I just use him mainly for taxes. The rest I take care of myself. I am very hands on when it comes to financial matters. But my taxes have become complicated over the years with certain investments etc, and so it's just easier to hand him all the papers and later, a check.

Like any other professon these people are dry because they must protect the client information in all circumstances. Imagine if the accountant was asked to disclosed asset informatin of the client. How would he reply? By keeping that cold look it is easy to get away without answering. See the stock broker floor if you want to see some accountants yelling at each other.
