A gathering place for Spiritually Minded People
Tax day humour
At the end of the tax year, the local IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a synagogue. While he was checking the books, he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles. "What do you do with the candle drippings?"
"Good question", noted 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 auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a completely practical answer.
But on he went, in his obnoxious government attitude:
"What about all these biscuit purchases? What do you do with all the crumbs?" he sneered.
"Ah, yes," the Rabbi responded thoughtfully, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question.
"Why, we collect them and send them back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free box of holy biscuits."
"I see," sighed the auditor, 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?"
"Well, here too, we do not waste," countered the Rabbi.
"What we do is save up all the foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."
