At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent
an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the IRS agent was checking the books, he
turned the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice
you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with
the end of the roll when there's too little left to be
of any use?"
"Good question," Noted the CFO. "We save them
up and send them back to the bandage company
and every once in a while, they send us a free roll."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed
that his unusual question had practical answer. But
on he went, in his obnoxious way. "What about all
these plaster purchases. What do you do with what's
left over after setting a cast on a patient?"
"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector
was trying to trap him with unanswerable. "We save it
and send it back to the manufacturer and every so often
they will send us a free bag of plaster."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he
could fluster the know-it-all CFO.
"Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the remains
from the circumcision surgeries?"
"Here, too, we do not waste and send them to the IRS
office, and about once a year they send us a complete
prick."
I have too much wisdom to keep to myself,
so I share my wisdom with everyone.
Not my fault nobody listens to me.
