At the end of the financial year the Tax Office sent a tax inspector to audit the books of a synagogue.
While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I noticed you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with all the candle drippings?"
"Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them 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 the bread-wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the auditor was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back to the manufacturer, 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," 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 the foreskins and send them to the tax office, and once a year they send us a complete dick."
