I know a story perhaps a joke that goes like this:...
A technician was called to fix this billion dollar submarine because of his expertise. No one else was able to fix the problem. When he arrived, he just walk a few rounds inside the submarine, pull his small hammer out of a pocket and hit a certain control panel on the corner with a moderate force, and voila! The submarine was fixed.
He did charge one million dollar for that one hit with the small hammer. Before delivering the invoice for the payment he also put a description of the service rendered to avoid any complains. The description of the service on the invoice stated:
#1 - hitting the panel with a hammer $ 1,00
#2 - knowing where to hit $ 999.999,00
Total = $ 1.000.000,00 (One milhon dollars)
