A Scotsman phones a dentist to enquire about the cost of a tooth extraction.

"85 pounds for an extraction, sir," the dentist replied.

"85 quid! 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 would knock 15 pounds off."

"Whit aboot if ye used one of your dentist trainees and still without any anaesthetic?"

"I can't guarantee their professionalism and it'll be painful. But the price could drop by 20 pounds."

"How aboot if ye make it 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. "T'll charge you 5 pounds, 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?”

Happy anniversary! I can relate to your dental misadventures. Had my own crappy dentist appointment this week. I left with a “treatment plan” which sounds no bueno to me. ☹️

Happy Anniversary, Robert!

Don't worry about the teeth. I'm sure they'll grow back.
