Accounting for Trouble

David just received his accounting designation and he was looking for a job. He was being interviewed by Alan Goldfarb, a partner at the three man firm Goldfarb, Applebaum and Goldman. Alan came across as a very nervous man.

"I need someone with an accounting degree," Goldfarb said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me."

"Excuse me?" the young accountant said.

"I worry about a lot of things," Goldfarb 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," David said. "And how much does the job pay?"

"I will start you at eighty-five thousand dollars."

"Eighty-five thousand dollars!" David exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?"

"That," Goldfarb said, "is your first worry."
