Whata CEO!
At the end of the tax year, the IRS sent an inspector to audit the books of a
local hospital. While the agent was checking the books, he turned to the CEO of
the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a lot of bandages. "What do you do with
the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?"
"Good question," noted the CEO. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage
company, and every once in a while they send us a free roll."
"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 plaster
purchases? What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast on a
patient?"
"Ah, yes," replied the CEO, realizing that the inspector was
trying to trap him with an unanswerable question."We save it and send it back to
the manufacturer, and every so often they send us a free bag of plaster."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the
know-it-all CEO.
"Well, what do you do with all the remains from the
circumcision surgeries?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CEO.
"What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office,
and about once a year they send us a complete prick."
