The Tax Man
At end of the tax year, the Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the inspector was checking the books, he turned to the CFO 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 CFO. "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 CFO, 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 will send us a free bag of plaster."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?"*
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the local Revenue Canada Office and about once a year they send us a complete prick."

Another email from my brother. Revenue Canada (which is now actually known as Canada Revenue Agency - CRA) is the equivalent of the American IRS. Since I have no love for Canada's tax man I have to say it took me a while to stop laughing at this one.
Hey, your brother is a funny guy!
Sum Fun Guy? In that case, I think I'll be skipping the soup course!
He's not funny, but he's good at circulating the jokes others send him.
That makes me think of the name of the Chinese take-out near where I lived in Toronto: Ho Lee Chow.
By the way, to keep this one visible long enough for more than a few members to see it, please vote it up and post a simple short comment.
The tax man deserved that answer
So did the one who screwed me up in Toronto.
One, two (one, two, three, four)
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
So true, so true, I know that song well.
