Time after time the auditor stopped the driver Time after time the auditor stopped the driver, made him however remove the tarpaulin and then inspected the load. Each time there was only scrap metal in the truck. After a few months of this the auditor moved on to another job.

One day he met the driver at a mall. The auditor went up to him and said, "Look, I've left the company, but I'm curious to know what were you taking." And the driver said, "tarpaulins!"
