At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to
! X; J& ^! S0 C8 ]5 _ audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
, ?; y+ R& [6 O books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a

little left to be of any use?"

"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to ' F; o" O$ z+ F8 b
the bandage company, and every now and then they send us a free box of ( `+ @4 C! R3 l9 r. J% I
bandages."

"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual
