A young hotshot gets a job with the IRS. His first assignment is to
audit an old rabbi. He thinks he'll have a little fun with the old
rabbi, so he says, "Rabbi, what do you do with the drippings from the
candles?" 
The rabbi says, "We send them to the candle factory, and every once in a
while they send us a free candle." 
The kid says, "And what do you do with the crumbs from your table?" 
The rabbi says, "We send them to the matzoth bakery, and every once in a
while they send us a free box of matzoth." 
The kid says, "And what do you do with the foreskins from your
circumcisions?" 
The rabbi says, "We send them to the IRS, and every once in a while they
send us a little prick like you."

After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
A way to let you know somehow
That I want to see your smiling face
Forty-five years from now.
