At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to & e: @6 [* j: o4 r: _, ]
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the ' W7 W, [6 w0 ]: A9 [
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a, c4 ~" X$ M8 f6 l0 y
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too
