Ms D. Vine -- Cave Men

On the subject of accountants, if the world had always been run by them, we would still be living in caves for sure.

In accounting speak, how could you justify leaving premises that were free, secure and required no maintenance? To build houses would require the deployment of capital, time and effort, for what return? No chance sayeth the accountant.

Just keep this in mind when talking to your companies "Bean Counters". You are, in effect, talking to cavemen (cave persons?... Matt).
