At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ; D( T: g' g6 h4 _/ s- y
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
9 `. h. r4 i# q* s" h( v books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a
9 u. X! M" r( ?( c- b$ a# K lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too 6 w5 y- r- J8 O' f& C/ c
