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 prick.'
