At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to ! ]6 M( ^# D G1 c5 a9 o+ \- p1 n
audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the 0 ]0 g4 K F: t. X
books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a& K6 V: l5 T/ h$ q i: q2 G
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too $ \0 }; a1 X0 u" a

the bandage company, and every now and then they send us a free box of
