A Scotsman phones a dentist to enquire about the cost for a tooth
extraction. '£85 for an extraction, sir' '£85?', the man replies. 'Huv
ye no'got anythin' cheaper?' 'That's the normal charge,' replies the
dentist. 'Whit aboot if ye didnae use any anesthetic?' 'That's unusual,
sir, but I could do it and knock £15 off.' 'Whit aboot if ye used one of
your dentist trainees and still withoot an anesthetic?' 'I can't guarantee
their professionalism and it'll be painful. But the price could drop to
£40.' 'How aboot if ye make it a
trainin' session, 'ave yer student do the extraction with the other
students watchin' and learnin'?' 'It'll be good for the students' mulled
the dentist. 'I'll charge you £5. But it will be traumatic.' 'Och, now
yer talkin' laddie! It's a deal,' said the Scotsman. 'Can ye confirm an
appointment for the wife next Tuesday then?'
