Just edit the details to fit your own business. A couple to get started (with accountancy details) but I'm sure there must be many others.

A Chartered Accountant, Certified Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor have all been doing some "borderline" tax planning. Being on the run from HM Revenue & Customs they decide to hide in a barn and each climb into a sack.

The taxman bursts in, and walks over to the first sack with the ACA in. He gives it firm kick and the ACA shouts 'Woof'. The taxman says to himself there's just a dog in there and moves on.

He walks over to the second sack and gives that a good boot as well. The ACCA shouts "Meeeooow" and again the taxman shrugs his shoulders and moves on.

He arrives at the third sack. Again he puts the boot in. The CTA shouts "Potatoes!!!!".

Three accountants and three engineers are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three engineers each buy tickets and watch as the three accountants buy only a single ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an engineer. "Watch and you'll see," answers an accountant. They all board the train. The engineers take their respective seats but all three accountants cram into a toilet and close the door behind them.

Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The engineers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the engineers decide to copy the accountants on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

To their astonishment, the accountants don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed engineer. "Watch and you'll see," answers an accountant.

When they board the train the three engineers cram into a toilet and the three accountants cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

Shortly afterward, one of the accountants leaves his toilet and walks over to the toilet where the engineers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "ticket, please."
