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 all the
circumcisions you perform?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "We save all the little foreskins and
send them to the IRS Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."
In God We Trust!
