Here is a lawyer joke that I heard, but it applies equally well to accountants
or other similar professions:

Joe the lawyer died suddenly, at the age of 45. He got to the gates of
Heaven, and the angel standing there said, Weve been waiting a long time for
you.

What do you mean, he replied, Im only 45, in the prime of my life. Why
did I have to die now?

45? Youre not 45, youre 82, replied the angel.

Wait a minute. If you think Im 82 then you have the wrong guy. Im only 45.
I can show you my birth certificate.

Hold on. Let me go check, said the angel and disappeared inside. After a few
minutes the angel returned. Sorry, but by our records you are 82. I checked
all the hours you have billed your clients, and you have to be 82…
