The resident replied:

- As a soldier, that Seymour was pretty much unknown, but as an accountant-Oy! He was something.

Starting Salary

The young accounting graduate, fresh out of uni and knowing everything, applied for his first job. The prospective employer asked him what starting salary he was looking for.

- Oh, around $100,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.

- Well, how does this sound? Five weeks annual leave, 22.5% superannuation, paid expenses to overseas conferences every year, home telephone reimbursed and a company car replaced every 20,000 kilometres, say a Mercedes convertible.

The graduate sat up straight and tried not to look excited.

- Wow. Are you kidding?

- Yeah. But you started it.

- OK - says the accountant.

- How much are you offering?

- That - says the man.

- is your first worry.
