Accountancy

You know, if you were to ask me what 2 + 2 was, I would say 4.

So would you.

But I used to know this accountant fellah, and he asked me the same question.

I said "4".

I asked him why he came at me with such a simple piece of math.

He said that Math was a matter for accountants, not ordinary folk like I.

So I said, well, what is 2 + 2?

He answered;

"What do you want it to be?"

Tricky people. Accountants.
