Glad you have a sense of humor...my Grandson is a CPA; I told him the joke about the constipated accountant and all I got was a grimace. I will have to say I've heard enough lawyer jokes until some are actually funny now.

What do you call an actuary?
An accountant without the personality.

How can you distinguish between an introverted actuary and an extroverted actuary?
An introverted actuary stares at his feet when he talks to you, and an extroverted actuary stares at your feet.

I think I've only met one actuary, and he was interviewing me for a job. He kind of freaked me out, because he showed absolutely no change in facial expression through the whole meeting.

I'm an introverted computer programmer, but this guy was weird, even by my standards.

OMG. I am an accountant by education and training.

Debits on the left. Credits on the right.

Debits equal credits.

Assets equal liabilities plus equity.

Balance the books every month. Report every quarter.

I think you know the answer to the question.

“Close enough”. Back before computers, we would spend hours reconciling accounts to the penny!! I remember folks who spent hours because they were off a few dollars!

The converse is also true -

You can't time fence and you can't love stop.

So it must be true.
