Here's more for You Know Whom (for CA guys, no points for guessing
who...... for others.....dahhhh!!!!)
=========================================
A True Story This happened at the recent accountants conference jointly organized by ICAP and ICMAP
Three CAs and three ACMAs are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three ACMAs each buy tickets and watch as the three CAs buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an ACMA.
"Watch and you'll see," answers one CA.
They all board the train. The ACMAs take their respective seats but all three CAs cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The ACMAs saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the ACMAs decide to copy the CAs on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that).
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the CAs don't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed ACMA.
"Watch and you'll see," answers one CA.
When they board the train the three ACMAs cram into a restroom and the three CAs cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the CAs leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the ACMAs are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
**************
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young management accountant who was fresh out of ICMAP, "What starting salary were you thinking about?"
The Accountant said, "In the neighborhood of Rs 25,000 a month, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, full medical and dental, Company Retirement Fund to 50% of salary, Executive Share Option Scheme, Profit Related Pay and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a 5 series BMW?"
The ACMA sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
The interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."
