Current bank crisis explained

Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.

The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news.

The donkey's died.'

Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'

Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'

The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'

Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'

Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me.. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'

Paddy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898'

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two pounds back.'

Paddy now works for the Royal Bank of Scotland

"$85 for an extraction.sir"the dentist replied."$85!!!have ye no got anythin cheaper?"
"Thats the normal charge"said the dentist.
"Whit aboot if ye didnae use any anaesthetic?"
"Thats unusual,sir but I could do it and knock $16 off"
"Whit aboot if ye used one of your dentist trainees and still with out anaesthetic?"

"I can't guarantee their professionalism and it will be painful but the price could drop to $40".

"How aboot if ye make it a training session an ave yer student do the extraction with the other students watchin an learnin?".
