At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to / G$ c' w" J, y8 Y: P1 n2 R# u
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the ' o/ N4 g c2 D1 y) O2 y
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a9 z" U8 W1 s; w# w5 o1 r' \
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too * N" Z: k4 P4 C4 V! I4 p
