God's Accountant:

I constructed this joke today. You will find the beginning quite familiar, but the end is original. I call the joke, “God's Accountant.”

An Orthodox Jew who is also a successful businessman has a money problem. He decide he needs to find a creative accountant. He calls an accountant and asks, “How much is two plus two?”

The accountant says, “Four.”

“Thanks,” the businessman says, and he calls another accountant. “How much is two plus two?”

“Well now,” the accountant says, “How much did you have in mind?”

“You're hired,” the businessman says. The accountant winds up deeply involved with the guy's business. He moves nearby to work more closely with him. He's also an Orthodox Jew, and they both attend the same little Stibbel.

One Sunday morning, few of the regular congregants are around. Shachrit should have started a good 15 minutes ago. Two guys are huddled in one corner of the room; three in another corner. And then there's the businessman and his accountant. The guys taps his accountant on the shoulder and points at the others. “Two plus three plus two. What do you think?”

The accountant responds, “I believe I can persuade Hashem that we have a minyan.”
