A Knysna businessman went into the dentist in Grey Street and asked: “How much will it cost to have teeth taken out?”

“R900” said the dentist.

“That’s ridiculous” said the businessman.

“I could lose the assistant so it would cost R600,” countered the dentist.

“That’s still too expensive,” said the businessman.

“If I don’t use anesthetic, I could knock the price down to R200.”

“Still too much!” said the businessman.

“Ok, then, the last option is for one of my receptionist to do it for R100,” said the dentist.

“Perfect – book my wife for next Tuesday.”
