This little Jewish old man has come down with some illness. He is worried, so he seeks out the best doctor in New York. He has the necessary consultations and treatments, all is taken care of, and he is presented with a $1000 invoice.

The old man looks at the bill and says to the doctor, "you know, $1000 may not be much to you, but for me, an old pensioner, it's a lot of money". The doctor thinks a moment and replies, "OK, let's make it $800".

The old man then says "doctor, I appreciate the gesture, but considering my measly monthly income, $800 is still a substantial sum". The doctor says, "OK, let's make it $600".

The old man says "thank you, doctor, but you do realize that for someone like me, even $600 is not chicken feed". So the doctor, annoyed, says "so can you pay $300?"

The old man replies "oh, bless you, doctor. But I must say that even $300 is an amount that takes me a fair bit of time to accumulate". The doctor, now completely pissed off, says "OK, you win. Let's write off the entire amount, and everything is free. But tell me, when you came to me, you knew that I was one of the most expensive doctors in New York, so why did you choose me?"

The old man replies "when it comes to my health, money is no object".
