Ah. Government audits!
>
> 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 figures,
> he turned to 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 a 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 an unanswerable question. "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," answered the CFO. "What we do is save all
> the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a
> year they send us a complete prick."
