The Internal Revenue sends their auditor to a audit a synagogue. The
auditor is doing all the
checks, and then turns to the Rabbi and says, "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 Internal
Revenue."

"Internal Revenue!?," questioned the auditor in disbelief.

"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, "Internal Revenue. And about once a
year, they send us a little prick
like you."
