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 bread -wafer 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 manufactures, and every now and then they send us a

free box of bread - wafers."

"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 all the foreskins and send them to the Tax office, and about once a

year they send us a complete dick."
