doing all the usual checks, and then turns to the Rabbi and says
"I notice that you buy a lot of candles."
"Yes" answered the Rabbi.
"Well, what do you do with the candle drippings?" The auditor 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. Every now and again,
the candle maker sends us a free box of candles."
"Oh" replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
question actually had a practical answer. He decided to try again ...
"Well what about all these Matzo purchases ? You must gather lots of
crumbs from all that bread, so what do you do with it?"
"Ah yes" replied the Rabbi, unperturbed, "we actually collect up all the
crumbs from the matzo. Once we have enough, we send them in a box to the
manufacturer, and every once in a while, they send us a box of matzo
balls."
"Oh" replied the auditor, thinking hard about how to fluster the Rabbi.
"Well tell me this, then, Rabbi" he continued "what do you do with all
the foreskins from the circumcisions?"
"Yes, here too we do not waste" replied the Rabbi. "What we do is save
up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we parcel them up and
actually send them to the Inland Revenue."
"What?!! Inland Revenue?!?" Questioned the auditor in disbelief.
"Yes" replied the Rabbi, "Inland Revenue ... and in return, about once a
year, they send us a little pr!ck like you."
