IRS audit
The Internal Revenue Service sent their auditor to a synagogue. The
auditor is doing all the checks and then turns to the Rabbi, and says,
"I noticed that you buy a lot of candles." "Yes," answered the Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked.
"A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up and when
we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker and every now and
then, they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question actually had a practical answer. So he thought he'd go on, in
his obnoxious way... "Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What
do you do with the crumbs from the matzo?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly, "we actually collect up all the
crumbs from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the
manufacturer and every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls."
"Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the foreskins from
the circumcisions?"
"Yes, here too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is
save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we send them to the
IRS." "IRS?" questioned the auditor in disbelief.
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, "IRS"...and about once a year, they send
us a little prick like you."
