IRS Agents
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 d@#k."
