The Dentist
A man walks into a dentist’s office and asks how much it will cost to
extract a wisdom tooth.
“Eighty dollars,†the dentist says.
“That’s a ridiculous amount,†the man says. “Isn’t there a cheaper
way?â€
“Well,†the dentist says, “if you don’t use an anaesthetic, I can knock
the price down to $60.â€
“That’s still too expensive,†the man complains.
“Okay,†says the dentist, “you can save on anaesthesia if I simply rip
the tooth out with a pair of pliers. I can knock the price down to $20.â€
“Nope,†moans the man, “it’s still too much.â€
“Well,†says the dentist, scratching his head, “if I let one of my
students do it without anaesthesia and a pair of pliers, I suppose I can
knock the price down to $10.â€
“Marvellous,†says the man, “book my wife for next Tuesday!â€
