At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to
6 a( p$ `& n- H z audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the
7 K6 d: x; J5 |4 ^ books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a( |% r: K5 W- G
lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too
