Post The I.R.S.

The Internal Revenue Service sends an auditor to a synagogue. While
doing
his
audit, the Auditor turns to the Rabbi and says, "I notice you buy a lot
of
candles."

"Yes," answered the Rabbi.

"Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?"

"A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up & when we
have
enough, we send them back to the candle maker . & every now & 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 .. & when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the
manufacturer & every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls."

"Oh," replied the auditor, who by this time was thinking really hard on
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
the
foreskins & when we have enough we send them to the Internal Revenue
Service."

"Internal Revenue Service!" said the auditor in disbelief.

"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, "we send them to the Internal Revenue
Service
.. &
about once a year, they send us a little prick like you."
