When people think of accountants, they think of an overweight and unintelligent person. The visualized individual may also have a vest and a pencil in hand. You have to love the stereotypes we put on people’s professions.

The author of this article is in the church accounting software industry. Below are ten jokes that the author has accumulated over the years about church accountants. These jokes could be applied to accountants in general.

Question: What is the difference between a church accountant and a lawyer? Answer: The accountant recognizes that he is boring. You may remember times when you were giving presentations on technical accounting issues and you were bored even though you were the one talking. Think about how the unfortunate listeners felt.

Question: How was copper wire invented? Answer: Two accountants at church argued over the widow’s mite.

Question: How do you know an extroverted accountant when you see one? Answer: The accountant will be looking at your shoes while she is talking to you. Most accountants look at their own shoes. If you are a church accountant, you just have to laugh at how you’ve been stereotyped.

Question: Why did the church accountant cross the road? Answer: Because that is what they did last year. Auditing usually consists of seeing what they did last year and doing that this year. It’s great fun.

A good joke for tax season. As a church accountant is speaking his last words during this life, he gives his friend a letter and says take this to the IRS. The friend reads the letter aloud, “Fine, now you have everything.”

Hope you enjoyed some of the jokes. It is healthy to laugh at some of the quirks of one’s profession.
