Brain Surgeon: "How much will it be to re-plumb that bathroom?"
Plumber: "About $2000."
Brain Surgeon: "How long will it take you?"
Plumber: "About 2 hours."
Brain Surgeon: "That's $1000 an hour. I only make about half that doing 
brain surgery."
Plumber: "Right. That's all I made when I was a brain surgeon, too."
