A feisty 70 year old
woman had to call a furnace repairman. After a quick
inspection the man put some oil into the motor and
handed her a $70 bill for labor. "Labor charges!"
she exclaimed. "It only took you five minutes."
The repairman explained that his company had a
minimum one-hour charge on every house call. "Well,
I want my remaining 55 minutes of labor," the
lady responded, and she handed him a rake. The
repairman spent the next 55 minutes in her yard
bagging leaves.
