A bright, young, fresh-out-of-school auditor just joined the IRS. He

was excited to begin tracking down high-powered offenders - like the

Enron or WorldCom guys. Anxious for his first high-powered audit, he

was a bit dismayed when his assignment was to audit a Rabbi.

 

Looking over the books and taxes were pretty straight forward, and the

Rabbi clearly very frugal, so he thought he'd make his day interesting

by having a little fun with the Rabbi.

 

" Rabbi, " he said, " I noticed that you buy a lot of candles. "

 

" Yes, " answered 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. So he thought he'd go on,

in his obnoxious way... " Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases?

What do you do with 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 a box of

matzo balls. "

 

" Oh, " replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi.

 

" Well, Rabbi, " he went on, " what do you do with all the foreskins from

the circumcisions? "

 

" Yes, here too, we do not waste, " answered the Rabbi. " What we do is

save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them

to the I.R.S. "

 

" The I.R.S.?, " questioned the auditor in disbelief.

 

" Ahh, yes, " replied the Rabbi, " the I.R.S. " ... and about once a year,

they send us a little prick like you. "
