One day a man walks into a dentist's office and asks how much
it
will cost to extract wisdom teeth.
"Eighty dollars," the dentist says.
"That's a ridiculous amount," the man says. "Isn't there a
cheaper way?"
"Well," the dentist says, "if you don't use an anaesthetic, I
can knock it down to $60."
"That's still too expensive," the man says.
"Okay," says the dentist. "If I save on anesthesia and
simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I could get away
with charging $20."
"Nope," moans the man, "it's
still too much."
"Hmm," says the dentist, scratching his head. "If I let one
of my students do it for the experience, I suppose I could
charge you just $10."
"Marvelous," says the man, "book my wife for next
Tuesday!"
