SPRING IS IN THE AIR

When spring is getting closer the air starts to fill with birds who have migrated south in the fall.

Yesterday I found a Pidgin-Dove eating out of our bird feeder and today a flock of thirty to 40 Geese flew over our house. The racket they made sounded like they were determined to make to Canada by noon. Keep your eyes open. Spring is in the air.

FUNNY ACCOUNTANTS

Why was the accountant so excited that he completed a jigsaw puzzle in only 59 weeks?

Because on the box it said 8-12 Years.

An accountant is having a hard time sleeping and goes to see his doctor. "Doctor, I just can't get to sleep at night." "Have you tried counting sheep?"

"That's the problem - I make a mistake and then spend three hours trying to find it."


Simplify means increase when you discuss the tax code.

A man went into a CPA's office, and demanded to see the CPA. He was escorted into the office.
The man needed tax help, but he knew how expensive CPA's could be, so he inquired, "Can you tell me how much you charge?"
"Of course", the CPA replied, "I charge $500 to answer three questions."
"Don't you think that's an awful lot of money to answer three questions?"
"Yes I do. What is your third question?"
