At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to
2 v4 _5 ?* e5 g3 K: |* R audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
+ x9 r0 w9 y& j# | O& Y books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a( d' e9 | W) I G/ {
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual 4 o) E4 a7 v- s4 R
