Comes in handy when you’re keeping multiple sets of books.

Bookcase, meet headcase

That bookkeeper is really stacked! -- a bad joke from a bygone era --

See? Tall, well-stacked…Oh, you thought I meant….

His name is Smorboll and he hails from Ikea.

I’m a bookkeeper’s son, I don’t want to shoot no one. Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon, don’t take me alive”

“She’s going to be taking care of you from now on. I just know you’ll come to love her.”

“… and … oh … Baseball and Rubik’s Cube … You can count on her to take care of you, too.”

I was going to get a bookkeeper too, but I had to shelve the idea.

All costs up front, no ongoing salary, and they can be depreciated.

Hey, it’s sturdy and unlikely to embezzle.

Looks like they could use some cooking.

A sad joke!
