There's an old joke on this one.
A TV repair guy goes to a customer who shows him that his TV doesn't work right. The TV guy looks at the distorted images on the TV screen, takes a hammer from his bag and gives one blow with it to the side. The TV works perfectly again!
The customer asks how much it costs. $100 says the TV guy. Customer: 'what?? you're in here 1 minute, give 1 tap and then you charge $100? Why so much?'
TV guy: 'It is $1 for the tapping, and $99 for the knowledge where to tap.'
