At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ( `/ w* n( d* Y4 o. |
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
5 B& a6 x& i9 T! P! D8 M4 p books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a
) N1 v; `+ K/ z& V; R lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too - r- Y X! I% b3 P4 `5 _6 Y/ R- ~

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual , ~; M" X8 E/ w J

"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to

the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the
