The document contains 3 stories that compare HR officers and accountants: 1. A group dangling from a helicopter rope has to let one person go, and the accountant volunteers, giving a moving speech. However, the HR officers begin clapping and fall instead. 2. A group of accountants and HR officers take a train using one ticket. The accountants squeeze into a toilet when the conductor comes, passing the ticket under the door. 3. Three HR officers need to cross a raging river. The first prays for strength and swims, the second prays for tools and uses a tub, but the third prays for intelligence and is turned into an accountant who finds a bridge.

1. HR OFFICERS
&
Accountants
3 Real Life Stories...

2. The First …

3. Eleven people were dangling below a
helicopter on a rope. There were ten
HR people and one Accountant.
Since the rope was not strong enough to
hold all the eleven, they decided that
one of them had to let go to save all the
others.

4. They could not decide who should be the
volunteer. Finally the Accountant said
he would let go of the rope since
Accountants are used to do everything
for the company. They forsake their
family, don’t claim all of their expenses
and do a lot of overtime without getting
anything in return.

5. When he finished his moving speech
all the HR people began to clap… so
they fell!!!

6. Moral:
Never underestimate the
powers of the
Accountants.

7. The Second …

8. A group of Accountants and a group of
HR people take a train to a conference.
Each HR person holds a ticket. But the
entire group of Accountants has bought
only one ticket for a single passenger.
The HR people are just shaking their
heads and are secretly pleased that the
arrogant Accountants will finally get
what they deserve.

9. Suddenly one of the Accountants calls
out: “The conductor is coming!”. At
once, all the Accountants jump up and
squeeze into one of the toilets. The
conductor checks the tickets of the HR
people. When he notices that the toilet
is occupied he knocks on the door and
says: “Ticket, please!” One of the
Accountants slides the single ticket
under the doors and the conductor
continues merrily on his round.

10. For the return trip the HR people
decide to use the same trick. They buy
only one ticket for the entire group but
they are baffled as they realize that
the Accountants didn’t buy any tickets
at all. After a while one of the
Accountants announces again: “The
conductor is coming!” Immediately all
the HR people race to a toilet and lock
themselves in.

11. All the Accountants leisurely walk to
the other toilet. Before the last
Accountant enters the toilet, he knocks
on the toilet occupied by the HR people
and says: “Ticket, please!”, takes the
ticket and show it to the conductor!!!!

12. And the moral of the story?
HR people like to use the
methods of the Accountants,
but they don’t really
understand them.

13. The Third …

14. Once upon a time three HR people were
walking through the woods and suddenly
they were standing in front of a huge,
wild river. But they desperately had to
get to the other side. But how, with
such a raging torrent? The first HR guy
knelt down and prayed to the Lord:
“Lord, please give me the strength to
cross this river! "

15. *pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord gave him long arms and
strong legs. Now he could swim
across the river. It took him about
two hours and he almost drowned
several times.
BUT… he was successful!

16. The second HR guy, who observed
this, prayed to the Lord and said:
“Lord, please give me the strength
AND the necessary tools to cross this
river!”

17. *pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord gave him a tub and he managed
to cross the river despite the fact that
the tub almost capsized a couple of
times.
BUT… he was successful!

18. The third HR man who observed all this
kneeled down and prayed: “Lord, please
give me the strength, the means and the
intelligence to cross this river!”

19. *pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord converted the HR man into
an Accountant. He took a quick glance
on the map, walked a few meters
upstream and crossed the bridge.

20. Moral?
You have to be an Accountant
to think intelligent,
Otherwise…
GOD HELP YOU !

21. Send this to your Accountant friends
so that they have something to smile
about;
and to the HR people if you think they
can stomach the truth!

22. PROUD TO
BE AN
Accountant
