A new IRS auditor, eager to make a name for himself decided to review
the tax returns of the local synagogue. He proceeded to interrogate
the rabbi, asking him what the synagogue did with the wax drippings
from the Shabbat, havdallah and Chanukah candles. The rabbi, pleased
to show the auditor that nothing went to waste responded that the used
wax is collected and sent to a candle factory and they send the temple
new candles. "What about the crumbs from the matzah you eat at
Passover?" asked the auditor. "Simple," the rabbi responded. "We
collect all the crumbs, send them to the matzah bakery and they send
us matzah meal." "All right" said the auditor, refusing to give
up. "I know that you are a Moyel as well as a rabbi. What do you do
with the leftovers from the circumcisions?" "Easy" said the
rabbi. "We send them to Washington, DC -- and they send us you."
