Plumber's Bill

A pipe burst in a doctor's house. He called the plumber. The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, repaired the pipe, and handed the doctor a bill for six hundred dollars.
The doctor exclaimed,
'This is ridiculous! I don't even make that much as a doctor!'
The plumber quietly replied . . . .
. . . . . 'Neither did I when I was a doctor.'
