Monty Python's Flying Circus · Season 1, Episode 10

Mr. Anchovy and Counselor in “Untitled”

AMr. Anchovy

I've been a chartered accountant for 20 years. I want a new job. Something exciting that will let me live!

CCounselor

Well, chartered accoutancy is a rather exciting job, isn't it?

AMr. Anchovy

Exciting?! No, it's not! It's dull! Dull, dull, my God it's dull! It's so dull and tedious and stuffy and boring and desperately dull!

CCounselor

Well, er, yes Mr. Anchovy, but you see your report here says that you are an extremely dull person. You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy, they're a positive boon.
