> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Look, having accounting… My uncle was a great mathematician and scientist… good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, very good, very smart… You know, if you’re a Certified Public Accountant, if I were an MBA, if, like, okay, I had an MBA degree, they would say I’m one of the smartest people in the world… It’s true… But when you’re a Certified Public Accountant they try… oh, do they do a number… that’s why I always start off: Went to college, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune… you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged… but you look at the accounting deal, the thing that really bothers me… it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are… accounting is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was thirty-five years ago… he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right… who would have thought?.. but when you look at what’s going on with the four reports… now it used to be three, now it’s four… but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another hundred and fifty years… but the Persians are great accountants, the Iranians are great accountants, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us. :D:D:D Excellent. ---
