When the wealthy businessman
choked on a fish bone at a restaurant, he was fortunate that a doctor was seated
at a nearby table.
Springing up, the doctor skillfully removed the bone
and saved his life.
As soon as the fellow had calmed himself and could
talk again, he thanked the surgeon enthusiastically and offered to pay him for
his services.
"Just name the fee," he croaked gratefully.
"Okay," replied the doctor. "How about half of what you'd have offered
when the bone was still stuck in your throat?"
