The Scotsman & The Dentist
A Scotsman phones a dentist to enquire about the cost for a tooth
extraction.
"�85 for an extraction, sir" the dentist replied.
"�85!!! Huv ye no'got anythin' cheaper?"
"That's the normal charge," said 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 without 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 "and it's going to be
very traumatic, but I'll charge you �5."
"Och, now yer talkin' laddie! It's a deal," said the Scotsman. "Can ye
confirm an appointment for the wife next Tuesday then?"
