AUDITOR AND THE RABBI
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?" "Ha yes" replied the Rabbi, realizing 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."
