The taxman cometh

Now, you can fill your tax forms with a smile on your face. :-)

A man and his dog are lost in the wilderness and run out of food. The
man loves his dog, and could never eat it, but he's desparate, so he
chops off the dog's tail, and makes a soup out of it. The dog is OK,
and the man let's it lap up a little bit of the soup.

That's the basic concept of the tax refund

The Internal Revenue sends their best auditor (a nasty little man) to audit
a synagogue. The auditor is 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. When we
have enough, we send them back to the candle maker. And every now and then,
they send us a free box of candles."

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his question
actually had a practical answer. So he thought he'd try another question, 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 the crumbs,
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 on a way to fluster the Rabbi.

"Well, Rabbi," he asked, "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 Internal Revenue Service."

"Internal Revenue Service?" questioned the auditor in disbelief.

"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, "Internal Revenue Service. And about once
a year, they send us a little prick like you."
