THE TAXMAN<br /><br />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:<br /><br />&quot;I notice you buy a lot of candles.  What do you do with the candle drippings?&quot; &quot;Good question&quot;, noted the Rabbi. &quot;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.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Oh&quot;, replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer.  But on he went, in his obnoxious way: &quot;What about all these biscuit purchases?  What do you do with the crumbs?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Ah, yes&quot;, replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. &quot;We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of holy biscuits.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I see&#33;&quot; replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi.  &quot;Well, Rabbi&quot;, he went on, &quot;What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?&quot; &quot;Here, too, we do not waste&quot;, answered the Rabbi. &quot;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.&quot;
