My Accountant: "But how much did you lose?"

[Ansky]

So, I saw an accountant yesterday. We were going through records and he asks how much I have made in profit in 2006, I say "xxxxx" whatever, and he replies "ok so is that winnings or profit though?"

me: "oh that's profit..."

him: "right ok. But how much did you lose then?" (quoted verbatim)

It was very embarrassing as I started laughing outloud.. in his face.
