I used to work for Arthur Young & Co., the CPA firm.

Once I got addressed to:

			Arthur Young
			c/o John Crane & Co.
			2100 Financial Center
			Seattle, WA  etc.

Made me feel real good to know that when the old boy (He founded  the  firm
in  the  1860's or something like that) kicked the bucket, that he left the
firm to me.  But I guess he forgot to file a change of address.


Another Arthur Young story. When CPA firms sign a contract or a proposal,
tradition has it that the partner in charge of the engagement never signs
his own name; he always signs the name of the firm.

Anyway, we wrote a proposal to do some work for the State  of  Alaska.  The
proposal  was  thrown out because we signed it "Arthur Young" and the State
said we were illegally using the name of a dead person.


Sorry 'bout that Artie baby.  Just snuggle up  a  little  more  in  your  3
piecer and turn over in your grave one more time.
