At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to
, F8 d" m" H( i audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the ' q% _7 K4 y5 k8 V0 \- |8 q: m" E7 q
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a
/ z: O6 ?: g" C. c7 M4 o% ` lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too
