JOKE

The Internal Revenue Service sent an auditor to a synagogue. As the
auditor reviews all the paperwork, he turns to the Rabbi and says, "I
noticed that you buy a lot of candles."
"Yes, we do," responded 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.

"Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with
all 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 box of matzo balls."

"Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how he could fluster the
rabbi.

"Well, Rabbi," he continued, "what do you do with all the foreskins
from the circumcisions?"

"Yes, here too, we do not waste." The rabbi answered. What we do is
save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them
to the Internal Revenue Service."

"Internal Revenue?" questioned the auditor in disbelief.

"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, "Internal Revenue. And about once a
year, they send us a little prick like you."
