Rita Stars In A Christmas Story - Just For You!

As 2012 draws to a close, I have a special message and challenge for all of my clients and friends in the CPA profession. I’ve modified the dialogue (from the flagpole scene in A Christmas Story [1]) to demonstrate some “accountant speak”  just for you!

• Flick: Are you kidding, stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That’s dumb.
• (Accountant: Are you kidding, start using social media to promote the firm? That’s dumb.)

• Schwartz: That’s cause you know it will stick.
• (Rita: That’s cause you know it will work.)

• Flick: Your’re full of it.
• (Accountant: You’re full of it.)

• Schwartz: Oh, yeah? Well, I double dog-dare you!
• Rita: (Oh, yeah? Well, I double dog-dare you!)

• Narrator: Now it was serious, a double dog-dare.

• Schwartz/Rita:  I TRIPLE DOG-DARE YOU!

• Narrator: Schwartz/Rita created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat, the triple DOG-dare.

• Schwartz: Go on, smart ass, and do it.
• (Rita: Go on, smart ass, and do it.)

• Flick: I’m going!
• (Accountant: I’m going to give it a try!)

Narrator: There was no going back now.

Rita: There is no going back now  - Have a joyous holiday season and an extraordinary 2013.
