At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to 5 Z/ ?/ |9 |& g
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the / U* h: ?+ t7 e& K3 @1 ^# E% _
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a

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