Blonde in a Blizzard
It was snowing heavily & blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero, when the little blonde got off work. She made her way to the parking lot & wondered how she was going to make it home.
She sat in her car while it warmed up & thought about her situation.
She then remembered her daddy's advice that if she got caught in a blizzard, she should wait for a snowplow to come by & follow it. That way she would not get stuck in a snow drift. This made her feel much better & sure enough, in a little while, a snowplow went by & she started to follow it.
As she followed the snowplow, she was feeling very smug as they continued & she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions.
After quite some time had passed, she was somewhat surprised when the snowplow stopped & the driver got out & came back to her car & signalled for her to roll down her window. The snowplow driver wanted to know if she was all right, as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine & told him of her daddy's advice to follow a snowplow when caught in a blizzard.
The driver replied that it was okay with him & she could continued if she wanted, but he was done with the Wal-Mart parking lot & was going over to Canadian Tire next.

Revenue Canada Audit
A bright, young, fresh-out-of-school auditor just joined Revenue Canada, excited to begin tracking down high-powered offenders: maybe even a Canadian version of the Enron or WorldCom guys. Anxious for his first high-powered audit, he was a bit dismayed when his assignment was to audit a Rabbi. Looking over the books and taxes were pretty straight forward, and the Rabbi clearly very frugal, so he thought he'd make his day interesting by having a little fun with the Rabbi.
"Rabbi," he said, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles."
"Yes," answered the Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked.
"A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up and when we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker. And every now and then,they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his unusual question actually had a practical answer. So he thought he'd go on, in his obnoxious way...
"Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with the crumbs from the matzo?"
"Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly, "we actually collect up all the crumbs from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls."
"Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi..
"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcisions?"
"Yes, here too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to Revenue Canada in Sudbury."
"Revenue Canada?" questioned the auditor in disbelief.
"Ahh, yes," replied the Rabbi, "Revenue Canada ...and about once a year, they send us a little prick like you."
