Something to Make you Smile and Ponder

A businessman tells his friend that his company is looking for a new accountant.
His friend asks, "Didn't your company hire a new accountant a few weeks ago?"
The businessman replies, "That's the accountant we're looking for."

The doc says, "That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome."
The fellow says, "Is it common?"
Yes, you guessed what the doctor said, "It's not unusual….."
