A Scotsman asks the dentist the cost for a tooth extraction.

"$85 for an extraction sir," was the dentist's reply.

"$85!!! Huv ye no' got anythin cheaper?"

"That's the normal charge," said the dentist.

"Whit aboot if ye didnae use any anaesthetic?"

"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
anaesthetic?"

"I can't guarantee their professionalism and it'll be painful. But the
price could drop to $40."

"How aboot if ye makeit a trainin' session, ave yer student do the
extraction with the other students watchin' and learnin? "

"It'll be good for the students," mulled the dentist. "I'll charge you $5.
But it will be traumatic."

"Och, now yer talkin' laddie! It's a deal," said the Scotsman. "Can ye
confirm an appointment for the wife next Tuesday then?"

Did a search and couldn't find this posted before.
