Special Price

One day, a man walks into a dentist's office and asks how much it

will cost to extract wisdom teeth.



"Eighty dollars," the dentist says.



"That's a ridiculous amount," the man says. "Isn't there a cheaper

way?"



"Well," the dentist says, "if you don't use an anesthetic, I can

knock the price down to $60."



"That's still too expensive," the man says.



"Okay," says the dentist. "If I save on anesthesia and simply rip

the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I can knock the price down to

$20."



"Nope," moans the man, "it's still too much."



"Well," says the dentist, scratching his head, "if I let one of my

students do it, I suppose I can knock the price down to $10."



"Marvelous," says the man, "book my wife for next Tuesday!"
