tax day joke (warning: rabbis involved)
Apr. 16th, 2008 01:42 pmAt the end of the tax year, the IRS sent an inspector to audit the books of a synagogue.
While he was checking the books, he said to the Rabbi, 'I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with 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 these matzo (bread) purchases? What do you do withthe crumbs?''
'Ah, yes,' replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. 'We collect them and send those back to the manufacturers also, and every now and then they send a free box of matzo balls.''
'I see,' replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi . 'Well, Rabbi, what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?''
'Here too we do not waste,' answered the Rabbi. 'We save up all the foreskins and send them to the Internal Revenue Service, and about once a year they send us a complete dick.
