An industrialist whose production line inexplicably broke down, costing him millions per day finally tracked down an expert. The expert arrived, pulled off his coat, brought out a screwdriver and turned one screw. The factory came back to life. Then, he presented a bill for £10,000.
Outraged, the factory owner demanded an itemised version. The expert was happy to oblige. He wrote: "For turning a screw: £1. For knowing which screw to turn: £9,999."
