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

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 Inland Revenue". "Inland
Revenue?," questioned the auditor in disbelief. "Ah, yes," replied
the Rabbi, "Inland Revenue " ...and about once a year, they send us
a little prick like you".
