At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to
' A( q3 z" N8 y, J audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
4 g) X+ `. M4 c" V; o+ Z! p books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a
% K7 g: S; l7 D( p. ^- p lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too + i- S! i( m# w- c
little left to be of any use?"

"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual

"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to

"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster

"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "What we do is save all ( \9 o& d, }; m* E0 j6 v: Y+ m3 z
the little foreskins and send them to Revenue Canada, and about once a
