An Ultimate Bargain


A Gujju calls a Dentist to inquire about the cost for tooth extraction...
Dentist : Rs 850 Sir.

Gujju : Rs 850..!!! Too much..!! Don't you have anything cheaper?
Dentist : That's the normal charge, Sir.

Gujju : What if you don't use any anaesthetic?
Dentist : That's unusual, Sir, but can be done and will cut the cost by Rs 400.

Gujju : Ok. And what if you deploy one of your trainee-dentists to do the extraction, without anaesthetic?
Dentist : Well, I cannot guarantee professionalism and it also would be painful. But the price could drop down to Rs 150.

Gujju: Hmm. What if you make it like a training-session, like one of your students does the extraction, while the other students watch and learn?
Dentist : It'll be good for the students but quite traumatic for the patient... And I can pay you Rs 200 for it.

Gujju : Now you're talking..!! Ok, it's a deal. Can I confirm an appointment for my mother-in-law for tomorrow at 10 AM then?
