At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ( X% M* u6 |0 K9 {1 j
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the / H0 g& T& f; [- w; a
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a/ i$ Q" o- o) K; u
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too

the bandage company, and every now and then they send us a free box of

the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the
