At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit
> the books of a local hospital.
>
> While the IRS agent was checking the books he turned to the CFO of the
> hospital and said, "I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do
> with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any
> use?"
>
> "Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to
> the bandage company and every now and then they send us a free box of
> bandages."
>
> "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
> question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.
>
> "What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what's
> left over after setting a cast on a patient?"
>
> "Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to
> trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back
> to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free package
> of plaster."
>
> "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster
> the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the
> leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"
>
> "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "What we do is save all
> the little foreskins and send them to the IRS Office, and about once a
> year they send us a complete dick."
