Put Your Mark Where It Counts

A nuclear plant hit a snag, running at low power and leaving the engineers scratching their heads. They called in a hotshot consultant who spent two days eyeballing the control room, scribbling notes, and crunching numbers. In the end, he slapped a big black X on one gauge, pointing out the troublemaker. The engineers fixed it up, and boom - the plant was back in business. When the consultant handed over a $10,000 bill, the plant boss raised an eyebrow. The consultant broke it down: $1 for drawing the X, $9,999 for knowing exactly where to stick it.
