Fresh out of business school, the 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."
