Reminds me of a joke my dad used to tell decades ago, about a guy who called a repairman to come to his home to fix his TV (back when they had tubes and were huge and heavy). The repairman showed up, opened the back of the TV, shined his flashlight inside and said "Hmmmm." He then pulled out a little wire, replaced it in a jiff, and had the TV working again within minutes of walking in the door. He then told the owner that he owed him $100 for the repair. The owner went through the roof. He said "You were only here a few minutes and just replaced a cheap little wire! Why so much?" The repairman responded "It was $1 for the wire and $99 for knowing where to find it."
