At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ! H1 c j. o) }4 y
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the 3 } [- O, b5 k6 Q
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a* W; t0 ]) T* y5 x
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too 5 ~& m/ [8 c- A7 V6 A8 {
little left to be of any use?" " b: a$ ^( i* v3 ?- K4 G
