Old but good
At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an
inspector to carry out an
audit of 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
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 (flat bread eaten at
Passover) 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
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 prick..."
