At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to & |% v5 c- G( m9 H) y
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the * V1 v P4 G* o, H+ g
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a
& f- M; _6 G( |" q9 b lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too 3 A7 l, \& h( ~
little left to be of any use?" * B/ H$ F# A" r
