At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ' K: i' K5 x& S, j7 e
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
* v/ s6 b( S; K( N$ E5 i) X books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a
# {7 R4 {6 x2 X' q9 c lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too
# w1 f" C- T! S/ _$ q) e0 L little left to be of any use?"

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual ; S6 S/ _1 ^, L5 i' M; C

"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to 3 ^) m( X* j- ?5 T; V
