A guy walks into an accounting firm looking for a new accountant for his business. He goes to the first firm and meets with the senior partner and says "I've got one question for you - how much is 1 + 1?" The partner looks back at him oddly and says "2". The potential customer gets up and walks out the door.

He goes to another firm and asks the same thing - "How much is 1 +1?" The guy stares at him in disbelief and after a few seconds of silence, says "2". Again the business man shakes his head and walks out.

Finally he walks into the last accounting firm and demands to see the most senior partner. He is brought up to mahogany row and is presented to the senior partner. The business man sits down opposite the senior partner and says "I am having a really hard time finding a firm that I can have complete confidence in with respect to my business. I only have one simple question for you. How much is 1 + 1?" The senior partner gives him a real solid stare, gets up from the table and closes the door. He then returns to the businessman and says "How much do you want it to be?"
