The Tax Man

A Tax Official has come to a rural synagogue for an inspection.
The rabbi is accompanying him. "So rabbi, tell me, please,
after you have distributed all your unleavened bread, what do
you do with the crumbs?"

"Why, we gather them carefully and send them to the city and
then they make bread of them again and send it to us."

"Ah. So what about candles after they are burnt? What do you
do with the ends?"

"We send them to the city as well, and they make new candles
from them and send them to us."

"And what about circumcision? What do you do with those
leftover pieces?"

The rabbi, wearily, replies, "We send them to the city as well."

"To the city!? And what do they send to you?"

"Today they have sent you to us."
