Gumby and the Dentist
So I called the dentist yesterday, to inquire about getting a tooth pulled.
It went like this:
G How much to extract a molar?
D $85
G $85. WOW!! Got anything cheaper? Not much work lately, short on cash, and no insurance?
D Nah, that's the 'regular fee'
G What if you do not use anesthetic?
D Well, that's sort of unusual, but we could knock 15 off.
G What if you were to use one of the 'trainees', also?
D We cannot guarantee the professionalism, and IT will be painful, but we could do that for $40.
G What if we make it a 'training session', and let the other students watch and learn?
D That would be GREAT for the students, and for us, so we would only charge you $5.
G SUPER, I can afford that. Can we go ahead and make an appointment for Momma, next Tuesday?

Get both of them pulled and you can be known as Gumby and Da Gummer. Has a nice ring to it. In these tough times ya might just tie a string to it and the back of the bike.
