Very very nice!!

Vexed Thespian		2005-01-24 07:33:51 PM

took me a sec to get. anyone notice that hardly any penthouse letters include that phrase anymore?

climbon		2005-01-24 08:05:30 PM

Dear IRS,

I know you won't believe this, but it's true...

mizike		2005-01-24 08:08:22 PM

The SEC must really be into anal.. accounting.

PianoDemon		2005-01-24 08:17:32 PM

Brilliant headline. I'm still laughing.

I haven't seen a Penthouse magazine since Gore invented the internet.

The recording of the payment was improper because it was not actually signed until the following quarter and should have been recognized as deferred revenue and amortized over the five-year life of the agreement.

This wouldn't have happened if they all hadn't attended small midwestern colleges.

scifarker		2005-01-24 10:58:43 PM

My headline:

The world gets crueler as Penthouse accused of glazing profit statements, leaving holes out of business plans, and leaving the Hot Fresh Now sign on 24/7 with no new doughy goodness

I heard that the accountants wrote their legal defense on their peeners, but the Judge ruled that it would not stand up in court.

hehehehe!

that does it, skinink wins the thread

*golf clap* Nice headline

Chuckslammin		2005-01-24 11:06:35 PM

well done

Jokestress		2005-01-24 11:07:53 PM

Well done on the headline, submitter.

Bhh		2005-01-24 11:10:14 PM

You know how every once in a while some website posts all the Playmates going back to the 60s? Then Hef's lawyers make them take it down. Anyway, how come you never see sites like that about Penthouse? A man of a certain age could well have nostalgia for those late 70s, early 80s Penthouses and would like to see them again.

Iwearsocksforu		2005-01-24 11:11:09 PM

Did anyone else read the headline as "Pentagon accountants...."?

wingnutty02		2005-01-24 11:12:14 PM

thumbs up for that headline

crackhead		2005-01-24 11:12:29 PM

Excellent headline!

webfiend		2005-01-24 11:12:32 PM

I was thinking that this thread would be naked without pics, but I'm not 100% certain that I want to see the real accountants of Penthouse magazine without their clothing on.

SwiftFox		2005-01-24 11:12:46 PM

I really didn't expect a cover-up here...

webfiend		2005-01-24 11:13:37 PM

oy, "naked without pics"

Paging Dr. Freud, paging Dr. Freud. Your next patient is ready.

TedwardRoberts		2005-01-24 11:13:57 PM

Headline made me chuckle.

Kudos!

SpeedStick		2005-01-24 11:15:46 PM

Props to the submitter. Great headline.

I giggled.

Kriegshund		2005-01-24 11:22:51 PM

There's a spreadsheet joke in there somewhere, and I'm going to keep looking until I find it.

Fett56		2005-01-24 11:39:13 PM

Awesome headline.

God-is-a-Taco		2005-01-24 11:39:59 PM

It took me a little to get it, but that's the beauty of the joke. Well done, submitter!

Greenville		2005-01-24 11:44:38 PM

OK. Whoever came up with the headline owes me a new computer.

Farkin' awesome!

Abzzstain		2005-01-24 11:46:09 PM

Penthouse accountants show way more than Playboy accountants.

Knoughah		2005-01-24 11:53:56 PM

Golf clap.

M-G		2005-01-25 12:06:27 AM

Bhh: Anyway, how come you never see sites like that about Penthouse?

Well, IMO,it's because Playboy spreads are usually somewhat artistic. In the Penthouse spreads, you typically just have women spreading themselves so wide you can see their cervix. Sure, as a teenager that sort of thing was great to see, but now I find my tastes to be a little more refined...

Steep Spiral		2005-01-25 12:08:02 AM

More headline kudos!

_		2005-01-25 12:08:54 AM

I agree with you about the less-cervix. But I'm not sure I'd use the term "artistic," per se.

ceejayoz		2005-01-25 12:32:55 AM

Glad everyone likes the headline. :-D

/is the submitter

puckhead		2005-01-25 12:49:22 AM

I submitted this with a much inferior headline.

/kudos

radiodude21		2005-01-25 12:55:10 AM

ceejayoz: Glad everyone likes the headline. :-D

Dude, if that's true - nicely done.

JohnnyDanger		2005-01-25 12:59:44 AM

Great headline.

Isn't Penthouse in the shiatter now?

vyse316		2005-01-25 01:42:47 AM

Props to the title, best one all day.

Beavosaurus Rex		2005-01-25 01:56:43 AM

I'm late, but......Bravo.

Cyberluddite		2005-01-25 01:58:00 AM

ceejayoz, that headline was so good that, as your reward, you may notice that you now have that nifty

thingie next to your name--at least for the next month. Enjoy, and thanks for the laugh.

Durasteh		2005-01-25 02:27:52 AM

Perhaps I am an idiot, but could someone explain the humor behind this headline? I don't want to be left out...

Durasteh:

Penthouse magazine "letters" are somewhat imfamous for beginning with the phrase, "I never thought this would happen to me, but..."

/seriously, how did that fraud get through? That's pretty simple stuff
//wonders who was auditing them, but doesn't care enough to look it up
///accountant

bcp01scu05		2005-01-25 02:43:08 AM

imfamous

Er.. infamous.

zodar99		2005-01-25 04:54:49 AM

Doesn't imfamous mean more than famous?

Great headline. Funny, funny stuff.

MythRender		2005-01-25 05:45:42 AM

zodar99

Ask El Guapo what "infamous" means.

And still more praise for the headline...well done!

jayhawk88		2005-01-25 07:43:14 AM

You know, when I saw this article earlier yesterday, I knew there was a legendary joke in there somewhere, but I just couldn't quite come up with it. Props submitter.
