Story

An elderly woman went into the Dentist’s surgery and asked how much it would cost for a tooth extraction.

The dentist replied, “Our fixed price for an extraction is $380.”

The old woman said, “Oh, that’s a lot of money. Have you got anything cheaper for an older patient?

“Well”, the dentist replied, “I could give you a small discount making the price $360.”

“What if there was no anaesthetic?” the old woman enquired.

“In that case I could do it for $220”, the dentist said. “However it would be very painful.”

“Hmmmm”, the old woman went on, “What about if we used one of those trainee dentists and still without an anesthetic?”

“Well, it is possible, however they are only training and things could go wrong. It would be even more painful, but I suppose that we could do it for $120.”

“Ah, that’s still a bit much!” the old woman said. “How about if we made it a training session, with the extraction done by one of the students and all of the other trainees watching and learning?”

The dentist thought about it and said, “In that case I suppose that we could do it for $50.”

“Excellent”, the old woman replied, “Can you book my husband in for next Wednesday?”
