STRIP Hambone: Expensive repair job

"We only got six days of funding."

"These are the principal qualities we're looking for in our new recruits."

Bill glanced up from his computer. It was dark outside. He smelled of BO. A little voice inside his head whispered, 'you should probably log off now.'

'Excuse me, sir. Could you spare $2000,000 to treat an uninsurable pre-existing condition?'

Elevator charge $1.00.

'I was trying to extinguish my ego, and I got an Out of Memory Error.'

'So far, all I can tell you for sure is how much I've charged you.'

'This could be a very expensive operation — I'm going to refer you to the Federal Government.'

We don't have a budget to redo the last guy's business cards, door placard, and so on, so would you mind assuming his identity in the meantime?

'Before we unload him, he'd like a written price support.'

'It's the only way I can afford this place.'

"That fly paper's paid for itself."

'Open wide.' 'Your wallet.'

'I know you're trying to keep health care costs down - but what kind of life support systems are these?'

"Natasha cuts diagnosis costs."

'It says take all your medication,if you can afford it.'

'Private schools are really expensive these days - Why don't you home-school him?'

"I'm sorry, due to budget cuts we had to reduce kitchen staff."

'This is what telemedicine looks like for a small practice like ours.'

'Now I'll show you what turns a $6,000 operation into a $17,000 operation.'

'Virtual golf, save pounds'.

'I don't care if this security software was a bargain; it shouldn't reply with 'close enough' when I enter the wrong password.'

"Give me a second, I just have to send this report...the budget cuts haven't made communicating any easier."

'Programmers at a cocktail party.'

'If the world is getting smaller...How come the postal rates keep going up?'

'I used to be a Zen Master, but I found I have more control as your Web Master!'

'We've had to lay off most of the nurses to pay for the locums...'

"We're a day late and four hundred million dollars short."

"We changed its name after the budget cuts were announced."

'The side effect is, you don't care what it costs.'

'Does that bill seem high to you?'

"The new minimum wage has had a big impact on the cost of providing social care..."

I'm going to prescribe a less expensive generic placebo.
