Today is payday. So I looked at my bank balance and then at upcoming bills and other obligations. As often happens, I was reminded of an old Wizard of Id strip, in which Bung (the Court Jester) is juggling and talking with another character. The conversation went something like this:
Other Character: Bung, was your father also a juggler?
Bung: In a way….He was the royal accountant.
