| Worries
Fresh out of business school, a young man answered a want ad for
an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very nervous man
who ran a small business that he had started himself.
"I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said.
"But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for
me."
"Excuse me?" the accountant said.
"I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But
I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take
all the money worries off my back."
"I see," the accountant said. "And how much does
the job pay?"
"I'll start you at eighty thousand."
"Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed.
"How can such a small business afford a sum like that?"
"That," the owner said, "is your first worry."
