What is a accountant pun?

An accountant pun is a play on words that swaps an everyday word for a number-crunching one - think "I depreci-8 you" instead of "I appreciate you", or "let's get fiscal" in place of physical. The best ones lean on the small pile of sounds the job hands you for free: count, account, balance, audit, tax, figure, ledger, credit and interest. Slot one of those into a familiar phrase and the pun files itself. Everything below is sorted by exactly how you'll use it - one-liners, kids' jokes, captions, cards and short zingers.
