Taxing discussion

At the end of the tax year, the IRS sent an auditor to go over the return of a synagogue.
While checking the books, he turned to the Rabbi and said, "Though churches and synagogues are tax exempted, I notice you declared a lot of candles as office expenses."
"True," noted the Rabbi. "But we save the candle drippings and send them back to the candle makers. Every now and then they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. He continued, in his obnoxious way. "What about all these unleavened bread purchases?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect the bread crumbs and send them back to the bakers. Every now and then they send us a free box of unleavened bread."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi, what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?" he asks facetiously.
"Here, too, we do not waste." answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the Internal Revenue office and about once a year they send us a complete dick."
