The Price Of Wisdom
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
anaesthetic, I can
knock it 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 could get away with
charging $20."
"Nope," moans the man, "it's still too much."
"Hm," says the dentist, scratching his head. "If I
let one of my
students do it for the experience, I suppose I could charge you
just $10."
"Marvelous," says the man, "book my wife for next
Tuesday!"
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for
a
particularly slow group of golfers.
Engineer: What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for
15
minutes!
Doctor: I don't know but I've never seen such ineptitude!
Priest: Hey, here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a word with
him.
Priest: Hi George. Say George, what's with that group ahead of
us?
They're rather slow aren't they?
George: Oh yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost
their
sight while saving our club house last year. So we let them play
here
anytime free of charge!
(silence)
Priest: That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for
them
tonight.
Doctor: Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist
buddy and
see if there's anything he can do for them.
Engineer: Why can't these guys just play at night?
