The canny Scotsman

[FLYING BANANA]

A Scot went to a dentist for tooth extraction and first inquired about cost:

The dentist said $400, the Scot thought it as too much.

After some thought, he asked about cheaper methods.

The dentist said Yes, it can be done without anesthesia and will cost only $300, but it would be very very painful. The Scot said ok Dr, do it without anesthesia.

On the appointed day and time, the dentist removed the tooth without anesthesia and during the entire procedure the Scot sat quietly, even smiling a little.

The dentist was not only surprised but was quite impressed and said. "I have never seen such a brave patient like you. I don't even want my fees, here, instead take this $250 as a reward, you've taught me such a powerful lesson today about mastering one's pain and feelings!"

In the evening he met his fellow dentists and told everyone about his amazing Scottish patient. Out of all doctors, one doctor jumped up and shouted.

"That NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- Scot first came to me, I gave him anesthesia and asked him to wait outside for half an hour. After half an hour when I called him he had left."
