>"Good question", noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back to

>"Oh", replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question

>"What about all these biscuit purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?"
>"Ah, yes", replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to
>trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back
>to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of holy
>biscuits."
>
>"I see!" replied 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?"
>"Here, too, we do not waste", answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save up
>all the foreskins and send them to the IRS, and about once a year they send
>us a complete dick."
