A large factory's central machine broke down one day. All work in the
factory came to a halt. They of course immediately called in a repairman.
The repairman arrives quickly. He checks a few dials, and examines the
positions of several large gears and levers. He then opens up a panel,
exposing a valve handle, and turns the handle one-and-three-quarters turns
to the left. The machine immediately resumes operations.
The repairman hands the plant manager a bill for $505.
"Five-hundred and five dollars!?! For adjusting a valve??" exclaims the
manager.
The repairman replies, "No. For that, five dollars. For knowing to
adjust it, five hundred dollars."
