[Wolves] Knowing where to tap

[Adam Sweet]

This was the story I butchered last night while telling it to Ron and
Dave M:


A mainframe computer on which everyone in the office depended suddenly
went down.

They tried everything but it still wouldn't work. Finally they decided
to call in a high-powered computer consultant.

He arrived, looked at the computer, took out a small hammer and tapped
it on the side. Instantly the computer leapt back to life. Two days
later the office manager received a bill from the consultant for $1,000.

Immediately he called the consultant and exclaimed, "One thousand
dollars for fixing that computer?! You were only here five minutes! I
want the bill itemized!"

The next day the new bill arrived. It read,

Tapping computer with hammer:  $1
Knowing where to tap:  $999
