dentist

[Fenlander]

A Scotsman phones his dentist to inquire 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 we could do it and knock, say, £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, say, £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 certainly be good for the students', mulled the dentist. 'but it will
be very traumatic, and I'll still have to 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.. ?'
