An American was traveling in Afghanistan when his Cadillac stalled. He tried everything, but it didn`t start. Finally, a mechanic came from the hills who was riding a donkey. He opened the bonnet and hit the cylinder head six times. He asked the American to start it and it started. The American asked, `How much`` The mechanic said, `$100. The American gasped and asked him to itemize the bill. The mechanic said, `10 cents for hitting six times and $99.90 for knowing where to hit.` MORAL: Respect Skilled People.
