At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ! I- j" j+ D( k0 y! _
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the ( p2 J2 p l+ v$ U' P
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a9 G& O p+ [' C! X0 W: \" a/ ~' ]
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too # b: h# ]$ e% z7 d; V9 Z+ P
little left to be of any use?"

"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to " R5 \1 |! x9 j. E4 P7 e
the bandage company, and every now and then they send us a free box of 5 J' P( V; U7 w! R G
bandages."

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual 2 c) _$ U! D% V" x8 D7 R2 M, b# p
question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.

"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to % g0 j1 U/ _) T# F# C% C+ e
trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back to

the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the & ^; J! L$ P- R: R

the little foreskins and send them to Revenue Canada, and about once a * ^3 y( _: d1 w4 U2 M
