This is a shameful act of taking a really old accounting tale and recreating it here as a cartoon. The story goes that there once was a really old accountant for some large company and he had been working at the very same desk for the past 50 years. Each morning the old guy would come into the office, get a cup of coffee and sit down at his desk. after getting all his papers the way he wanted, he would open his top drawer, pull out a little piece of paper and after reading what was on it he would slip it back into the same spot in the top drawer. After this morning ritual he would start his day's work.
After he retired, everyone was interested to find out what was on that little piece of paper and someone finally pulled the yellowed with age piece of paper out of the top drawer. Hand written in pencil was
Debits on the left ....Credits on the right.
I guess sometimes even old guys need reminders to keep them on the right mental road at work and in life.
