There was once an accounting firm where the
Partner knew every thing
there was to know about accounting. He could answer
any question. He knew
all the tax laws There wasn't a better accountant
anywhere.
Every morning when he came to work, he would unlock
his desk drawer, open it
up and look inside for a minute, and then close and
lock it again.
This puzzled all of his co-workers, because it was
the only eccentricity
that this person exhibited. They tried many times to
look over his shoulder,
or get into his desk when he wasn't there, without
success.
One day when the elderly man was sitting at his desk,
going over an account,
he suffered a heart attack and died. This upset
everyone tremendously.
However, now that he was gone, the other members of
the firm could finally
see what was in the drawer.
After obtaining the keys, they unlocked the desk
drawer and cautiously
peeked inside. They found one sheet of paper, and
written in large letters
was
"DEBITS ON THE LEFT...CREDITS ON THE RIGHT"
