A feisty 70-year-old woman had to call a furnace repairman. After
a quick inspection the man put some oil into the motor and handed
her a $70 bill for labor.

"Labor charges!" she exclaimed. "It only took you five minutes."

The repairman explained that his company had a minimum one-hour
charge on every house call.

"Well, I want my remaining 55 minutes of labor," the lady responded,
and she handed him a rake. The repairman spent the next 55 minutes
in her yard bagging leaves.
