The taxman cometh

    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 manufacturers, 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.'
