If you don't get this, don't worry. Only folks that have worked with these people can appreciate this. This, by the way, is a totally true story and happened just moments ago.

I got on the elevator on the first floor and there was a guy ahead of me who asked what floor I wanted.

I said “11”

He asked, “Are you an underwriter?” (Everyone in the building knows the underwriting department is on the 11th floor)

I said…”Good God No! I just work with them.”

He said: “Well, underwriters are Ok people…they just didn’t have enough personality to become accountants.”
