Accountants enjoy more sex than other workers

This is one of the highlights from a survey published a few years back. I came across it again recently and thought it worthy of recording on this blog for posterity.

The image of the dull, grey accountant was shattered by a survey in 2002 that claimed to have evidence that they are more interesting and adventurous than other people.

According to the Daily Telegraph's report, Accountants are more likely to socialise, they watch less television and enjoy more sex. This was the conclusion of a "monotony monitor" aimed at exposing those whose life was more rut race than rat race. Apparently accountants watched less than an hour's television in two weeks. They had sex an average of six times in a fortnight, compared with the average three, and most played some kind of sport.

Couldn't agree more that accountants have more interesting lives than we are given credit for...
I'm doing Tough Guy this July (for the third time) - an event that makes the marathon look like a walk in the park, and have surprised my friends by surviving in one piece into my 40's despite what they kindly refer to as "an interesting life"...
