Re: Scouting Slants Are Okay

Thought you would enjoy these from another Scouter, my good friend Vickie
Henderson.

Fresh out of business school, the proud Eagle Scout answered a want
ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very
nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself.

"I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said.

"But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me, and I see you
are an Eagle Scout . . . Trustworthy, Loyal, Honest, and all those things."

"Yes Sir" replies the young man, "But excuse me for asking, why do you need
someone to worry for you?" the budding accountant said.

"I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I don't want to have to
worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my
back."

"I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the job pay?"

"I'll start you at eighty-thousand."

"Eighty-thousand dollars!" the Eagle Scout, now-accountant, honestly
exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?"

"That," the owner said, "is your first worry." >>
