A Scotsman goes to the dentist and asks how much it is for a tooth extraction.
Â
"$150 for an extraction, sir," was the dentist’s reply.
Â
"$150! Huv ye no’ got anythin’ cheaper?!" replies the Scotsman, getting very agitated.
Â
"But that’s the normal charge for an extraction, sir," said the dentist.
Â
"Whit aboot if ye didnae use any anesthetic?" asked the Scotsman, hopefully.
Â
"Well, it’s highly unusual, sir, but if that’s what you want, I suppose I can do it for $125," said the dentist.
Â
"Whit aboot if ye used one of your dentist trainees and still without an anesthetic" asked the Scotsman.
Â
"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 $100," said the dentist.
Â
"Och that’s still ower much! How aboot if ye make it a trainin’ session and have yer student do the extraction and the other students watchin’ and lairnin?" asked the Scotsman.
Â
"Hmmmm, well, okay. It’ll be good for the students I suppose. I’ll charge you only $50 in that case. But I warn you, it will be very traumatic," said the dentist.
Â
"Och, now yer talkin’ laddie! It’s a deal," said the Scotsman. "Can ye make an appointment for the wife for next Tuesday then?"
