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, and 'ave one of yer students do the extraction, with the other students watchin' and learnin'?"
It'll be good for the students, thought the dentist,: and said: "I'll charge you £5, but it's going to be very traumatic."
"Och, now yer talkin' laddie! It's a deal," said the Scotsman. "Can ye confirm
an appointment for th' wife next Tuesday then?
