I only remember the punch line and a couple of other fragments. Can anyone recall the entire joke? Person A hires person B to perform some services. (I think that person A had a problem with something that was broken.) Person B comes around and fixes the problem in a couple of minutes. Person A receives a bill for $1000 and is outraged at the amount. He fires off an angry letter to person B and demands an explanation for the large bill. He receives the following explanation: "For services: $1.00 for time spent on the job. $999.00 for knowing which button to push. --------- $1000.00 Total Due" Steve Shellans Beaverton, OR tektronix!tektools!steves
