I once saw a sign in a garage that said something like:

Oil Change $25
If you ask questions $30
If you watch $40
If you want to help $50
 
Well that explains the $75 oil change
Brought my own tools
 
When I'm pitching manure at Sturbridge, one of the visitors usually asks "can I buy some for my garden?"

My reply: $10 to dump it in your car. $100 not to.
 
Used to answer folk calling for pricing on a repair:

Caller: "How much for you to change oil?"

Moi: "$20."

Caller: "How much if I bring the oil & filter?"

Moi: "Twenty bucks."

Caller: "WHA???"

Moi: "Take an egg over to McDonald's and see if they'll make you a ten-cent McMuffin with it."

Caller: "Oh." *click*
