At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit
the books of a synagogue. While he was checking the books he
turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles.
What do
you do with the candle drippings?"
"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back
to
the
candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of
candles."
"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 matzo purchases? What do you do with the
crumbs?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realising that the inspector was trying
to
trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send
them
back
to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of
matzo
balls."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could
fluster the
know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," 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 Rabbi. "What we do is save
up
all
the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year
they
send us a complete dick like you."weeeeeeeeee copy n paste
