I was sent these jokes today as part of Red Nose Day.
Three candidates are short listed for the accountant's job. They're all equally excellent, experienced and personable, etc. So the chairman asks each the simple question "what is two and two?"
The first replies "Four"
The second replies "Statistically anything between 3.999 and 4.0111"
The third replies "Well what figure have you got in mind?"
Needless to say, The third guy got the job.

The accountant was visiting the Museum of Natural History and said to the person standing next to him, "That dinosaur is two billion years and ten months old."
