The IRS sent their auditor to
a synagogue.
The auditor was doing
all the checks and then turned 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 us a free 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 actually 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 someone like you.
