This is a favourite joke of mine. It has nothing to do with accountancy but as a friend said recently I am feeling as if “the weather is over me”, so a chuckle is like medicine.
A man had a pet elephant. He tried to take it through customs by foot and was refused by the official. “I am afraid you can’t take an elephant through here sir”. He protested but to not avail.
The next day the man tried again hoping that someone else would be on duty. “I am sorry sir. As I explained yesterday, there’s no way you can take an elephant through the border”. There was a heated exchange but the guard was adamant.
The next day the border guard looked up and say the same man, again with the elephant but this time, there was a piece of bread lodged in each ear of the elephant. The guard leapt to his feet “I told yesterday and the day before, you can’t take your elephant through the border!!!!”
The man grinned knowing that he had triumphed.“It’s none of your business what I put in my sandwiches!”
