I went to a tall girl and I asked her, "What do you do for a living?" She says, "An account." So I reply with, "An accounting the hairs on people's heads," and then I run away.
Tall Girl's Profession

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is all about wordplay. The tall girl says she works "an account," meaning she's an accountant. But our comedian pretends she said "accounting," as in counting. Because the girl is tall, he suggests she counts hairs on heads because she is closer to them. It's dumb, but it's also a pun, which you wouldn't get because you think a balanced diet is a burger in each hand.
