- "But that's the normal charge for an extraction sir" said the
dentist.
- "What about if yer din't use any anesthetic?" asked the Scotsman
- hopefully.
- "Well it's highly unusual sir, but if that's what you want, I
suppose I can do it for $70" said the dentist. "Hmmmm, what about if yer
used one of your dentist trainees and still without anesthetic" said the
Scotsman.
- "Well it's possible but they are only training and I can't guarantee
their level of professionalism and it'll be a lot more painful. I
suppose in that case we can bring the price down to say $40" said the
dentist.
- "Och that's still a bit much, how about if yer make it a trainin'
session and have yer student do the extraction and the other students
watchin' and learnin" said the Scotsman hopefully.
- "Hmmmmm, well OK it'll be good for the students I suppose, I'll
charge you only $5 in that case" said the dentist. "Och now yer talkin'
laddie! It's a deal" said the Scotsman
- "Can yer confirm an appointment for the wife next Tuesday?"
