Fun|ny Fri|day - Ther|mo|me|ters

The auditors have taken an inventory of thermometers held in a warehouse, in summer. The thermometers will be exported out of the country in January, and are kept under lock and key. In December, auditors ask management to redo the inventory count. The management is surprised “Why? Nothing has changed.” Auditors tell them “The inventory is overstated, in summer there is more mercury in the thermometers.”
