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."
