At the end of the tax year, the Inland Revenue office sent an
inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the agent was checking the books he turned to the
Accountant 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 Accountant. "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 Hospital Accountant, realising 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 Accountant.
"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 Accountant. "What we
do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the Inland
Revenue Office, and about once a year they send us a complete
prick!"
