At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to / g4 [( C. A+ [( L
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
6 g: x. z- `& l4 P2 D9 r books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a/ K1 H1 J" |% s2 ]0 G6 i9 T
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too 9 J5 I- b7 P' o; r1 ]+ M; I
little left to be of any use?"

"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to

bandages." # N; p, k: J+ Q/ g+ {+ S& K0 D; v

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual / B$ a8 L1 B2 r. O5 I- }2 G0 k/ g
question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.

"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster * j; N/ ~" K+ p- v! b; ^
the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the ! y# I) m) u$ s: d3 w

the little foreskins and send them to Revenue Canada, and about once a " k0 @: D0 Z; O" V9 E8 Z
