The tax man!

At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit
the books of a synagogue.

While he was checking the books the inspector turned to the Rabbi and
said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the
candle drippings?"

"Good question," said the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back
to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of
candles."

"Oh," replied the inspector, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way:
"What about all these loaves of bread? What do you do with the crumbs?"

"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realising that the inspector was trying
to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send
them back to the bakers, and every now and then they send a free loaf of
bread."

"I see," replied the inspector, thinking hard about how he could
fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," 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
up all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a
year they send us a complete dick like you."
