PS - You are not a bean counter... but there may have been some on the other end of the phone.

Where did the phrase "bean counter" come from and what is it's exact meaning?
: : : A bean counter considers only quantities when
: : : qualities should be considered. Suppose an
: : : editor of a newspaper gives pay raises to staff
: : : members on the basis of the number
: : : of articles written rather than the quality of
: : : the articles. The editor is a bean counter.
