At the end of the tax year, the IRS sent an inspector to audit a local hospital.
While the agent was checking the books, he turned to the CEO of the hospital and said, “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there’s too little left to be of any use?”
“Good question,” noted the CEO. “We save them up and send them back to the bandage company, and every once in a while they send us a free roll.”
“Oh,” replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went in his obnoxious way, “What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what’s left over after setting a cast on a patient?”
“Ah, yes,” replied the CEO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. “We save it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every so often they send us a free bag of plaster.”
“I see,” replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CEO.
“Well, what do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?”
“Here, too, we do not waste,” answered the CEO. “What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year they send us a complete prick.”

Again, essentially it is the Realism (reality is what it is) vice Nominalism (reality is what I say it is) tussle that runs all through post-Enlightenment Europe and USA. Deconstruction and post-modernism both were movements, specifically by Jews against Christianity, to defeat Realism once and for all. They failed and always will, open borders and gender as social construct — both Nominalist notions — notwithstanding.
