As long as
we’re talking about image problems, I’d like to offer up a definition of an
auditor from Elbert Hubbard, a humorist writing at the turn of the previous
century: The typical
auditor is a man past middle life, spare, wrinkled, intelligent, cold, passive,
noncommittal; with eyes like codfish, polite in contact, but at the same time
unresponsive, cool, calm, and as damnably composed as a concrete post or a plaster-of-paris
cast; a human petrification with a heart of feldspar and without charm or the
friendly germ; minus bowels, passions or a sense of humor. Happily they never reproduce and all of
them finally go to hell. Paul (who
