Bum Cleaning and The Oracles of the” Niche” – A Fable, Origins of Bum Cleaning
And Regulatory Compliance and Taxes For Accountants
All Rolled Up Like Two Week Old Sushi
[Note: The content of this story is loosely based upon reality with some additions to make it less boring. No conclusions are reached by the author, everyone is free to reach their own conclusions. All information came from sources in the public domain.]The Oracles of the Niche [“OON”] have spoken, the Uniform Certified Public Accountant [“CPA”] credential has been declared irrelevant and meaningless. The OON has decreed that the new professional credential for Cloud Accountants with be Absolutely Brilliant Consigliore hereafter to be referred to as “ABC”[1]. The announcement was made by Just Brilliant “JB” who was anointed by OON as Supreme ABC, the showboating Grand Pulbah of Disruption [“GPD[2]”] and Magical Wizard “MW”[3]. 
JB is shown in the middle of performing the “disruption dance” which is part of his secret “shtick” by he creates the illusion of having a clue with respect to what he is doing. We will come back to JB in a bit. He is a citizen of the Country of Oz and resides in the State of Panic. The other state in the country of Oz include Panic, Chaos, Misery and Turmoil.
We now return to the history and origins of the OON which is a necessary starting point if we are fully comprehend the anthropological factors which created the conditions that precipitated the decline of the CPA’s and provided the conditions which permitted the OON to impose the ABC on the business community in Oz.
Our story begins on the Island of Bogan which we are told is a remote island across the Ditch from its larger sister the Island of Coconut.
The native tribes of Bogan, the Bundys, Ranga, Westies and Gruds had lived in peace on Bogan for hundreds of years before they were conquered by the Roo Rooters and Shackle Draggers who had been expelled by force from Coconut by the Brit Slaves and the CCC’s [the other two tribes that inhabited the Island of Coconut. Which brings us to the introduction of RD[4] dominantly inhabited by Roo Rooters. The community sustained itself primarily engaging in the l occupations which were, you guessed it Roo Rooting and Small Mammal Rogering [we will spare from the video]. RD was relatively brilliant by Roo Rooter standards so he was sent to University across the Ditch to Coconut where he quickly earns his degree BSM [Hons].[5] As is turns out, which most of the residents of Coconut revere. However, Roo Rooting was skill that Roo Rooter young men learned from an early age.
RD become despondent at his lack of success as a BSM professional, so out desperation, he applied to the Bogan Institute of Aboriginal Bum Cleaners [“BIABC”] to enter practical training to become and Oracle of Aboriginal Bum Cleaning [“OABC”]. RD was lucky and accepted to undertake practical training with the firm of Longdrop and Clayton.
Its important to keep in mind that the time on the Island of Bogan, a substantial portion of the population lacked indoor plumbing, and consequently has horrible bum hygiene. As as result, much of the population was required to have weekly visit to an MBC or Manual Bum Cleaner who lacking the ability to afford modern technology or understand the methods would clean a customer’s bum manually to remove dingle berries with a toothbrush and single edged razor blade, a highly tedious and laborious process. Most MBC never attend school, didn’t know how to read, and learned their craft through a nine-year apprenticeship. As a point of clarification, in Oz MBCs are referred to as “bookkeepers” which don’t nearly the respect and recognition in OZ where due to brighter population and broad adoption of technology almost everyone owns an Ultrasonic Super Battery powered Bum Cleaner [“USBBC”]. A USBBC enables the average individual to clean their own bum and avoid weekly visits to the MBC.
The predominant vendor of USBBC’s in the land of Oz at the time was Intoit which had been primarily a manufacturer of cheap wooden and latex sex toys before their founder created Quick Bum Desktop [“QBD”], the first practical and affordable bum cleaner that could be used at home. Gradually, Intoit had followed the acceleration in technology and introduced QuickBum Online “QBO”] a crude but effective cloud based bum cleaner. Soon after, Intoit’s QBD had locked up the computer based bum cleaning market in Oz and the lack of completion has caused Intoit to become fat and lazy and the pace of development for QBO languished.
The AICPA had been focused on traditional accounting and auditing and initially failed to focus on the the importance of bum cleaning in the small and medium sized bum “SMB” space. The current generation of Oracles led by:
- Dookie Sleezer [“DS”], a crafty salesman who had never cleaned a bum in his life but had watched numerous bum cleanings.
- Junior Wanker [“JW’], the bum cleaner’s thought leader.
At the same time, RD had perfected Cloud Bum Cleaner [“CBC”] which was simple yet elegant bum cleaning solution that by passed desktop computers and designed to be deployed form the cloud. CBC was an instant hit and is eighteen months became the dominant method of bum cleaning on the Island of Bogan. The CBC phenomenon quickly “jumped the Trench” and became the rage of the Island of Coconut…almost overnight after 200 years of a stone aged existence, the Roo Rooters, Shackle Draggers, Aboriginals and other tribes of Coconut discovered how much better quality of life is without a dirty bum. [We will come back to the bum cleaning environment on Coconut at a later point.
In the blink of an eye, CBC was introduced in Limeyland where the population had always valued a clean bum and had abused the French for decades for not caring about having a foul smelling crusty bum. CBC swiftly gained a foothold in Limeyland and began to grow. We will come back to Limeyland at a future point. The adventure quickly returns to the land of Oz where CBC had begun looking for a location to establish a beachhead.
CBC made some contacts and connected with several of the Oracles who pointed to the City of Smelly Fingers [“SF”] in the State of Chaos which was the single city in the Land of Oz that was completely transfixed by everything BUM…bum cleaning, bum lubrication, bum stimulation, bum storage, community bums, bum workouts, it was natural. CBC slipped into Intoit’s own bum before they knew what hit them. Just Smelly [“JS”] joined CBC early on, perhaps due to his own penchant for Roo Rooting, and became the head of the US operations for CBC. Soon thereafter Anus Venter, herself a CPA joined CBC to head the US Bum Cleaning Education operations [we continue to be mystified how anyone with a foul smelling bum, it is the bum the stinks right?] could be qualified for that position, perhaps an aggressive Roo Rooting would help].

[4] RD is for a long line of Shackle Draggers and Roo Rooters that had inbred for several generations rather than permit their gene pool to be polluted by intermingling with the native tribes of Bogan. However, it was clear from the start that RD was a rabid Roo Rooter.
[5] BSM is Buggery, Sodomy and Mopery each of which is considered to be an honorable profession on the Island of Bogan, in the civilized world, not so much.
